Project description
Increasing the resilience of European industry to unexpected supply chain disruptions
The COVID-19 pandemic and energy crisis generated by the war in Ukraine highlighted the threat, particularly to SMEs, of sudden, unexpected supply chain disruptions. Three critical industrial ecosystems face common challenges despite their apparent differences: energy-intensive industries; aerospace and defence; and mobility, transport and automotive. The EU-funded IDEALIST project intends to help these industries become more sustainable and less energy intensive and mitigate the challenges of scarcer raw materials. This will be addressed via strategic foresight and planning, new technology adoption and identification of critical weaknesses in supply chains. Pilots will then promote meetings among the industry representatives and teamwork via the ‘Hack&Match’ method partnering stakeholders with common problems.
Objective
"The overall objective of ""3 InDustrial Ecosystems tAckLing supply chain dISrupTions and driving the adoption of advanced technologies"" (IDEALIST) is to support SMEs in industrial ecosystems 1/ Energy-intensive industries, 2/ Aerospace and Defence, 3/ Mobility, Transport & Automotive in their ability to understand and adapt to changes brought about by rapid and unexpected developments in the world such as the COVID-19 crisis or the Russia-led war in Ukraine. These 3 sectors are of capital importance for the European economy and despite their specificity, have common challenges that the project will help to address: transition to more sustainable practices, competitiveness issues in a context of scarcer raw materials and more expensive energy, change in consumption habits. Being more resilient means giving SMEs the opportunity to be a player in these changes and no longer just a spectator or follower. To do this, the project will evolve around three pillars 1/ Strategic Foresight to establish relevant tools and behaviors to anticipate and better prepare for change in an orderly and systematic way, 2/ Technology Uptake to overcome obstacles related to the implementation work of Advanced Technologies and lay the foundations of alliances between tech-savvy and traditional SMEs and 3/ Supply chains to identify critical dependencies and weaknesses in order to limit the impacts of disruptions on value chains. This work will lead to the realization of Pilot Projects promoting the meeting between ecosystems, facilitated by the use of the Hack&Match method. The mobilization of the AGORA platform led by EIT Manufacturing will support this objective of matchmaking and community building. The project is carried by a relevant consortium of 14 partners from 6 European countries and Ukraine representing several thousand manufacturing companies. The project will take place over 3 years (36 months)."
