The development of lightweight materials plays an important role in Europe as one of the global industry leaders. Innovative lightweight solutions can further decrease the weight of existing systems in those industries, where lightweight materials have mostly been used until now (i.e. aerospace,...

The objective of this study was to: Explore options for possible inclusion of CO2 emissions into an emissions trading system of the road transport and/or buildings sectors. Assess with qualitative and for selected questions also quantitative tools the relevance and the impacts of the identified ...

Lab-on-a-Chip-based technology for bio-chemical analysis represents a complex high potential technology for a wide application field. It holds the potential to revolutionise the diagnostics and biomedical research practice contributing not only to cost efficiency and performance improvement but ...

While biotech F&F represent a niche, they may yet constitute an interesting example for an entry point to commercialise products based on synthetic biology, which is considered as a promising technology for bio-based products. The value chain represents high value, low volume products with a bro...

The objective of the international country reports is to explore the technology and policy landscape of selected non-European countries. Country performance in advanced technologies is presented based on patent, trade and investment data. This particular report is an update and extension of the ...

Industrial clusters are responsible for a significant share of European jobs, SME growth and specialisation within regions. Cluster strength for Europe’s regions has, for many years, been measured using the cluster star methodology introduced by the European Cluster Observatory measuring strengt...

Next to the adoption of sustainable social behaviour, the global mitigation of climate change calls for a timely adoption of innovative sustainable technologies. As it is a large climate gas source in the EU, to make the mobility sector more sustainable could significantly contribute to climate ...

The International Reports explore the technology and policy landscape of non-EU countries including USA, China, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Russia. These reports provide European policymakers insights into the most recent developments from overseas. Country performance regarding advanced tech...

At an EU-level, the shares of renewable energy sources (RES) in total, electricity (RES-E), heating and cooling (RES-H&C), and to a lesser extent also transport (RES-T) have been continuously increasing over the past years. In 2019, the EU reached a share of 18.9% of RES in gross final energy co...

This sectoral report has been prepared in the framework of the ‘Advanced Technologies for Industry’ (ATI) project, initiated by the European Commission, Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs and the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. I...
