Transfer of Key Enabling Technologies to the maritime industries

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Atlantic Area

Date of latest update: 2023-03-02

Description

Description (EN):

Key Enabled Technologies (KETs) have the potential to impact on many aspects of the society, enhancing the industrial competitiveness in Europe. The maritime sector still needs a transformation from a traditional one to a high value one which is embracing innovation and novel market opportunities developed in a sustainable manner. The KETmaritime project aims to build a cooperative network and strengthen the KETs transfer of innovation results to facilitate the emergence of new products, services and processes across the Atlantic Area. The KETmaritime network intends to increase knowledge, identify and exchange good practices and sustainable solutions based on KETs for the marine economy and resources, in order to improve the socioeconomic situation through innovation and transnational cooperation. This cooperative network will bring together public and private organizations (companies, public institutions,…) to reach a better integration of the scientific, industrial and financial stakeholders. Key organizations with experience in R+D, technology transfer in KETs and maritime activities will facilitate the adoption of novel technological developments and new ways of thinking into traditional maritime companies, especially SMEs. It is therefore addressed to end users and services suppliers. The use of KETs should lead not only to a higher competitiveness of the area but to a better protection, more safety, more lightness, longer endurance, energy efficient powering, among other improvements.

Achievements (EN):

Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) have the potential to impact many aspects of society, enhancing industrial competitiveness in Europe. The maritime sector still needs a transformation from a traditional one to a highvalue one, that embraces innovation and new market opportunities. In this context, the KETMARITIME project’s main goal was to build a cooperative network and strengthened the KETs transfer of innovation results to facilitate the emergence of new products, services, and processes across the Atlantic Area. The KETMARITIME network created awareness about KETs in maritime industry competitiveness and growth by mapping the R&D+I ecosystem, creating a database of relevant projects, and undertaking five different case studies. A KETMARITIME Roadmap was also developed, containing actions for all stakeholders to animate and stimulate cooperation within (and outside) the network, which in turn supported innovation and knowledge exchange across the Atlantic region. Four KET application cases were defined for the implementation phase. The pilot project definition for each application case was elaborated, as well as the guidelines for the deployment of the selected KET solutions, successful case flyers, business cases and demo seminars. The KETMARITIME network created increased knowledge, identified and exchanged good practices and sustainable solutions based on KETs for the marine economy and resources, thus improving the socio-economic situation through innovation and transnational cooperation. The expected long-term results of the project are linked to the development of new business, private ventures, and large research consortiums in the frontiers of KETs and maritime research. It is important to mention the relevance that Information and Communication Technologies also have, together with the KETs, in order to achieve the long-term effects initially expected. "This pilot was about the development of antifouling surfaces for the prevention of the adhesion of microorganisms. Several microtopographic features and chemicals were explored at lab scale and the most promising strategies were validates under real conditions in the Estuary of Figueira da Foz (Portugal) for 2 months with excellent results.” Cinthia Gómez Shipbuilding engineer at Ghenova Naval & Defensa.

Expected Results (EN):

• Create awareness about key enabling technologies (KETs) in maritime industry competitiveness and growth; • Mapping of R+D+i KETs entities, maritime industrial users and technology transfer analysis; • Future priorities roadmapping; • Four pilot project plans (implementation phase) to address specific demands detected in previous activities (as many as identified KETs to enter into the maritime sector); • Dissemination and communication (KETmaritime network constituted by website, project tools dissemination, innovation algorithms, project workshops, provision of training and feedback).
