Description du projet
Une plateforme de haute technologie pour l’innovation
Les industries modernes dépendent de technologies avancées dans lesquelles les PME innovantes jouent un rôle clé. Pour répondre aux besoins croissants, les PME doivent collaborer avec les grandes entreprises (GE). Cependant, la collaboration entre les PME et les GE se heurte toujours à des problèmes. Le projet PITCCH, financé par l’UE, établira un réseau paneuropéen d’innovation ouverte pour soutenir les collaborations structurées entre les PME innovantes et les GE. Le projet créera un écosystème de réseau fiable reliant les institutions technologiques, les GE et les PME sur la base d’une plateforme d’innovation ouverte numérique qui aidera les membres du réseau à trouver des partenaires potentiels et à gérer les demandes de services d’intermédiation. Une sélection précise parmi les modèles commerciaux se traduira par la sélection des plus durables comme base sur laquelle construire un plan de durabilité PITCCH.
Objectif
Advanced technologies are key drivers towards transformation and efficiency of industry. Today behind every innovation is a complex and high-tech supply chain where SMEs have an important role to foster invention. Their role of drivers of innovation mainly happen through collaborations with large enterprises (LEs).
However, getting SMEs engaged with LEs and vice versa still encounters some barriers. Major challenges are related with finding interesting innovations and connecting them through trustful and beneficial collaborations.
The PITCCH project aims to build a pan-European open innovation network to support the establishment of structured collaborations between innovative SMEs and LEs to take up their advanced technologies-based solutions, by intermediating the connection between needs and cutting-edge offers.
The PITCCH consortium intends to build a well-reputed network ecosystem gathering technology centres, LEs and SMEs. Actors will be attracted from partners’ networks and from other existing European initiatives, such as the EEN, the DIH catalogues, the KET observatory, the SME Instrument Hub. To create a critical mass of partnerships, selected LEs will launch 15 Corporate Challenges to call for SMEs. After a selection, best SMEs will be supported by the PITCCH support schemes to develop their projects.
A Digital Open Innovation Platform will be developed to serve as the central brokerage service point, enabling an efficient functioning of the network. The platform will support the members of the network in scouting potential partners and in managing the requests for brokerage services. A brokerage services portfolio will be set up based on the competences of TCs and the needs of companies.
To achieve the final objective of long-term sustainability of the network, three different business models as support schemes to Open Innovation partnerships will be tested. By the end, the most sustainable will be chosen as base to build a PITCCH Sustainability Plan.
