The Product Watch analyses novel products that are based on advanced technologies for the development of goods and services - enhancing their overall commercial and social value. It analyses the value chain of the selected ATI-based products, their link to the IPCEI and the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the EU competitive positioning. This report specifically supports cluster organisations and S3 partnerships, providing intelligence on innovation areas where European regions could team up and invest together.
The ICT manufacturing sector and electronics in general play a strategically important role for the EU’s economy and society.
As the food industry faces an array of challenges such as changing diets, climate change, resource depletion, demographics and globalisation, food robotics could help mastering some of those, e.g.
Advanced technologies are rapidly changing machine tool production today. Machine tool manufacturers still struggle to adopt the technologies that are suitable for their specific practices, often due to high investment cost, both in equipment and in terms of skills.
The development of lightweight materials plays an important role in Europe as one of the global industry leaders. Innovative lightweight solutions can further decrease the weight of existing systems in those industries, where lightweight materials have mostly been used until now (i.e.
Lab-on-a-Chip-based technology for bio-chemical analysis represents a complex high potential technology for a wide application field.
Flexible electronics offers opportunities for various applications such as rollable, foldable displays, smart patches and smart packaging on paper and plastic substrates.
Next to the adoption of sustainable social behaviour, the global mitigation of climate change calls for a timely adoption of innovative sustainable technologies.
Digital technologies are rapidly changing agricultural practices today. Farmers still struggle to adopt the technologies that are suitable for their specific practices, often due to high investment cost, both financially and in terms of skills.
Since the global demand for high-energy and high-power energy storage devices increased, lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries have emerged as the dominating energy storage solution for portable electronics and electric vehicles.
