Description du projet
Dynamiser la construction légère pour les PME
La construction légère est importante pour assurer une économie circulaire décarbonée et efficace. Les PME ne tirent toutefois pas encore pleinement parti du potentiel d’application des matériaux légers avancés, scientifiquement et techniquement aboutis. Le projet AMULET, financé par l’UE, entend promouvoir la pénétration des matériaux légers avancés par un échange de connaissances transrégional et intersectoriel dans quatre secteurs: l’automobile, l’aérospatiale, l’énergie et la construction. AMULET libérera le potentiel d’innovation inexploité des PME dans le domaine de la construction légère et identifiera de nouvelles chaînes de valeur pour les matériaux légers avancés tels que les composites à matrice polymère, les composites à matrice céramique et les alliages métalliques légers. Les PME participant aux projets de démonstration d’AMULET recevront une aide à la formation technique et un accompagnement interentreprises pour accélérer la commercialisation de leurs solutions innovantes.
Objectif
The benefits of lightweighting in decarbonisation & resource efficiency for circular economy cuts across different industries, having the most important impacts on the automotive, aerospace & aeronautics, energy and building sectors. During the last decades, the main types of advanced materials and their manufacturing have enabled reducing weight while enhancing performance. However, their rate and intensity of penetration have been distributed unevenly across sectors, limiting their full potential. The goal of AMULET is to create new value chains by fostering the penetration of advanced materials in different fields through cross-regional and cross-sectoral knowledge exchange. Three types of activities will be implemented to foster innovation in SMEs. Firstly, R&D demonstration projects targeting current sectorial challenges will be developed to reach TRL7, following a competitive-based approach. Secondly, all SMEs participating in the project will receive technical training suport and business-to-business coaching for accelerating the commercialising of their innovative solutions. These activities will create a unique self-sustainable business framework, in which end-users and SMEs from established and new industrial supply chains will explore innovative lightweight-driven market opportunities. The consortium comprises a joint network of some 1717 SMEs, 341 large corporates and 93 universities, research and innovation institutes. At the long term, about 2,215 working positions are estimated to be created, while generating an additional €228M turnover for the targeted sectors. The ultimate goal of AMULET is to significantly contribute to CO2 emissions reduction in the EU by boosting the role of SMEs, in which their innovations are expected to be facilitated & supported by clusters.
