Recommendations to improve or create cross-border networks of ATI technology centres

This report presents the recommendations to improve or create cross-border networks of ATI technology centres. These recommendations are based on desk-research and the outcome of three workshops that focused on how cross-border networks of ATI technology centres can be promoted by focusing on three specific application areas and their associated value chains:

  • IoT precision farming
  • Low carbon industrial processes
  • Smart health

The first section presents the concept of value chain-based networks and its implications for the functioning and development of networks of ATI technology centres. It presents the rationale for the selection of the three application areas covered in the report and the main dimensions of analysis. This section concludes with the presentation of the general recommendations for future networks of technology centres. These recommendations can be considered as a blueprint for other application areas in which a value chain-based approach could be applied.

The second section zooms in on each of the three application areas covered in this report. It first presents the background notes of each of the application areas, detailing their current situation and most pressing challenges.

The third section presents the area-specific recommendations to improve or create cross-border networks of ATI technology centres in each of three specific application areas and their associated value chains.
