Description du projet
Les industries orientent la transition verte de l’Europe
Le besoin pressant de durabilité environnementale, impose à l’UE de procéder à la transition de ses industries vers des pratiques plus écologiques. Les menaces du changement climatique et de la dégradation de l’environnement mettent en exergue l’urgence d’une action décisive. Ce changement exige toutefois des efforts concertés de recherche, d’innovation et d’alignement des politiques. Dans ce contexte, le projet INDTECH2024BE financé par l’UE entend renforcer le leadership industriel par le biais de politiques de recherche et d’innovation (R&I). Il promeut la collaboration entre les parties prenantes pour relever les défis de la R&I dans le domaine des matériaux innovants, en s’alignant sur le pacte vert pour l’Europe. Il garantit la résilience et la croissance de l’industrie en intégrant les politiques de recherche et de développement (R&D) aux initiatives européennes. Le projet cherche à rationaliser les investissements par le biais d’instruments de financement relais et en soutenant l’innovation des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME). À terme, ses recommandations façonneront les politiques des États membres.
Objectif
The European Union (EU) is actively pursuing a rapid shift towards environmentally sustainable lifestyles and economies. This green transition is designed to promote sustainability, address climate change, and combat environmental degradation. European industry plays a pivotal role in this twin digital and green transition.
The main objective of this proposal is to contribute to R&I policies that will strengthen European industrial leadership and economic security. Our proposal aims to make Indtech24 a forum bringing together all stakeholders to exchange around specific R&I and policy challenges and stimulate networking. An overarching question we would like to address is how R&D policies could be better integrated to recent ambitious European initiatives to make sure the future of our industry is made in Europe.
Innovative materials are key to achieve the ambitious policy objectives of the European Green Deal. Taking place following the release of the coordinated action plan with member on Advanced materials, Indtech24 will fall within a context of intense reflection on the R&I priorities and specific objectives. We will address R&I challenges and opportunities in innovative materials. Showcasing best practices will be done by involving stakeholders from various kind to gather good examples and shed light on success stories. Following the objectives of the STEP initiative, we aim to engage discussion on the ways we could build more bridges between different instruments (Horizon Europe cluster calls and partnerships, ERDF, IPCEIs) to avoid the duplication of investments and contribute to reducing the fragmentation of the R&I landscape in the EU. We will also discuss policies that could unlock the innovation potential of European SMEs, notably from lessons learned from the implementation of OITB for material science. The final outcome of these sessions will feed into a R&I and policy recommendations for EU member states and the European Commission.
