In the two KETs:
Nanotechnologies and Advanced Materials
OPEN INNOVATION HUBS
1) Directorate D mission is to support the Industrial transformation of Europe and we would like to do that while promoting Open Innovation principles and fostering New Innovation Ecosystems
2) We (or I) believe that, supporting the creation of OPEN INNOVATION HUBS at EU level that will accelerate the physical innovation for the Materials Industry in the areas of Nanotechnologies and Advanced Materials, is the way to move forward
3) Since the beginning of H2020 we have been working in that direction with: (Instruments implemented by my Directorate so far that will contribute to the proposed solution)
Investment of more than 150 million euros in Piloting and upscalling facilities and Setting up the European Pilot production network
Investing on Materials Characterisation and setting up the European Materials Characterisation Council (EMCC)
Investing on Computational modelling Projects and setting up the European materials modelling council (EMMC)
Investment in Nanosafety and Nanotechnologies Risk governance projects and the NANOSAFETY CLUSTER
4) My idea today is to support the development of an integrated innovation ecosystem of interconnected Open Innovation Hubs in order to move this agenda forward

DEFINITION OF PILOTS
• 'line' refers typically to the production process
• pilot production setup to finetune the production process to allow scale-up for the commercial manufacturing
• TRL 5-6
WHY THEY ARE IMPORTANT?
Pilots should progress previous research to industrial scale (high TRL)
Potential test cases for ambitious projects of industrial scale
Enhancing industry’s ability to quickly turn R&D into innovative products
Enable early market entry of new products with a competitive edge
Pilot production (scale-up of invention to pre-commercial manufacturing) crucial to cross 'Valleyof Death'
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PILOT PRODUCTION NETWORK act as a coordination platform in the area of nanotechnologies and advanced materials upscaling and pilot actions.
EPPN would exploit synergies and maximise impact of the various investments, innovation programmes and financing from H2020, regional and private sources, ensuring cooperation with the Member States and Associated Countries and regions, as well as other stakeholders.
8 EU countries NOT participating to Pilots are:
Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia
Non EU countries participating to Pilots are:
Israel, Turkey, Russia, Norway, Switzerland
To note: This slides shows all countries involved in Pilots, it does not mean that we have pilot lines in all those countries
