Deliverables

D4.2 Supra-regional Deeptech & Photonics cooperation strategy (opens in new window)

Following the collection of data DEEPSUPPORT will use a strategic roadmapping process that will show dependency paths and link the current status with future development steps to achieve the goal of an increased diffusion of Deeptech and Photonics in the manufacturing sector, especially SMEs and by that help support the shared European missions and company competitiveness. The roadmap will be authored by economical, political and technical experts including one representative per focus group.While a special focus will be on the diffusion of technology with higher technical readiness levels 6-8, the cooperation strategy will not be limited to the technical dimension but also integrate economic (i.e. infrastructure access) and policy dimensions (i.e. joined best practice policies) to achieve the goal of increased company competitiveness and European missions. One relevant policies dimension covered will be the integration of cascading funding programs into a shared supraregional innovation ecosystem.The output of this task will be a central comprehensive document that compiles the joint cooperation strategy and will serve as a basis to coordinate further activities also for the consortium members.

D5.1 Good practice guide on quadruple Helix cooperation (opens in new window)

This deliverable will sum up good practices information on the the handling of Quadruple helix cooperation (Industry, Academia, Civil society & Public Authorities) for the consortium members. The data will be compiled and summarised in a digital guide that can be used by all the partners to improve and motivate the quadruple helix cooperation in their region.

D4.3 5 regional Deeptech & Photonics innovation valley strategies (opens in new window)

Derived from the central strategy, the regional strategies will focus on the regional Smart Specialisation Strategies and individual strengths of the participating regions and willbe used as a strategic tool for the regional policy makers. These strategies will serve as a blueprint to establish deep-tech and Photonics innovation valleys within the regions.Each region will write their own strategy which will consequently be pooled in D4.3.

D1.3 Strategies and policies matrix (opens in new window)

A matrix on relevant strategies and policies will be developed for each region that allows a mutual understanding about different policy priorities on the level of the DEEPSUPPORT regions. The first result will be a comparable information base on specific regional policy objectives and priorities, best practice measures will be identified if possible. In later stages of DEEPSUPPORT, when the supra-regional strategy is developed, this information enables to align it to regional objectives and priorities, especially concerning mutual goals towards EU missions.

D2.3 Report on the 2 delegation visits (opens in new window)

This Deliverable will report the interregional knowledge transfer through peer learning workshops and delegation visits between local innovation ecosystems. Two delegations visits will take place, the first in Month 2 with a visit to Joanneum Research and the second in Month 5 with Photonics Finland.Interregional cooperation will be initiated through the participation and matchmaking of –key innovation players from across the quadruple helix, and especially - innovation support actors like BSOs, DIHs, manufacturersk, Clusters, RTOs and funding agencies, and some of the members of the Innovation Focus Groups in the delegation visits.Site visits to RTOs, factories, universities, laboratories, large infrastructure etc. aiming to inform each other about best practice and build connections between strong/leading and moderate/emerging innovators, and different members of the Photonics ecosystem (quadruple helix stakeholders) will provide a basis for further co-operations.The reports of this delegation visits will be pooled in D2.3.

D1.1 Technology map (opens in new window)

The first step of the technology mapping will be undertaken using patent analysis to identify the key players and their areas of focus. It ensures comparability between different regions as the underlying patent data is representing patent activities worldwide. The patent analysis will be performed based on OECD PATSTAT-data and analyse the patent activities in the DEEPSUPPORT region based on patent applicationsin a common set of technology areas of Photonics and their corresponding IPCs (International Patent Classification).Relevant IPC patent classes analysed include: Lasers: H01S, Optics: G02B, Optical fibers and waveguides: H01J, Imaging systems: G03B, Illumination systems: F21V, Display systems: G09G, Sensors and detectors: G01N, Photovoltaic devices: H01L, Optical communication systems: H04B.In addition, the relevant regional innovation system(s) will be analysed, the key actors and their areas of expertise will be identified and described. This will include gathering information about the network of technology providers and their interaction.The outcome is a supra-regional, comparable overview about technological resources in the area of Photonics in the DEEPSUPPORT regions and hence a joint picture of the overall technological opportunities that can be addressed in the strategy to leverage the application of Photonics by SMEs.

D1.2 Needs and potential analysis (opens in new window)

By incorporating Photonics into their operations, SMEs can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase productivity. The specific potential of Photonics for SMEs in the regions depends on their innovation performance but also their economic specialisation. Hence, the structure and dynamics of the regional economies will be analysed.In a first step, the specialisation in manufacturing is analysed based on the Krugman specialisation index. This is complemented by an analysis of general characteristics of the economy (enterprise demography, innovation and R&D, productivity). Based on this analysis and the understanding of the SME landscape by the DEEPSUPPORT consortium a SWOT-analysis is undertaken. Overall, the analysis ensures up-to-date and comparable information on the manufacturing sector in the regions – with particular focus on SMEs.The outcome is a comparable overview about specific needs and the potential of Photonics for SMEs in the regions and hence a common picture about the areas to be tackled by the supra-regional innovation strategy in particular. It provides an overview of the areas where the use of Photonics could yield the highest benefits for SMEs in the short to medium term.

D5.5 Virtual platform (opens in new window)

The virtual platform will include the project ECCP profile page and the NAMS ecosystem. In order to keep the visual identity, typography, logo, fonts of the project, each post (news and/or event) on the ECCP profile will be using a customised banner. It will support the dissemination of information about the project such as the key message of the project and its objectives, presentation of the partners’ strengths, calendar with all related events and activities.

D3.1 Detailed plan for the implementation of infrastructure sharing (opens in new window)

Developing an organisational structure to leverage shared regional infrastructure to boost interregional Photonics Manufacturing in a European innovation ecosystem.First, this task involves mapping the regional infrastructure across the Europeanregions involved in the project. Second comes the identification of best practices of interregional collaboration for the usage of shared infrastructures – especially those that include deep tech manufacturing capabilities – and building the capacity of the participating regions in interregional collaborative infrastructure usage as well as the initiation of interregional infrastructure networks, including the definition for the terms of use of these infrastructures. Third this task involes approaching several companies in each region and implementing two exemplary pilot projects that demonstrate the feasibility of the use of an interregional shared infrastructure in Photonics manufacturing with the best suited candidates, enabled by the collaboration of the project partners.
