ATI Technology Centres help SMEs cross the 'Valley of Death' and go from lab to market to develop and produce new ATI-based products. They help companies reduce the time-to-market for new innovation ideas.
ATI Technology Centres are public or private organisations carrying out applied research and close-to-market innovation (Technology Readiness Levels TRL 3 to 8, not necessarily the whole range) in Advanced Technologies for Industry.
Technology Centres typically provide the following services to SMEs:
Access to technology expertise and facilities for validation;
Demonstration;
Proof of concept / lab testing
Prototype development and testing;
Pilot production and demonstration/ pilot lines / pre-series
Product validation / certification
Technology centres have to comply with 3 qualitative criteria
