How do you nurture a new Industrial Renaissance?

W

The economy comes together in many circles

Raw resources – the end user industries

- the value “circle”

Research – demonstrations – market

- the innovation “circle”

Big – medium – small enterprises

- the industrial “circle”

Site – region – Europe – global

- the geographical “circle”

PROCESS INDUSTRY

TODAY

PROCESS INDUSTRY

Tomorrow

Rejuvenate & invest in industrial processes

(Re)invent feedstock (optimisation of the current + waste, bio, new / CO2)

(Re)invent process mngt.: energy, water, raw materials (reduce, re-use) –

beyond industrial settings also

(Re)invent process control, big data analysis (beyond plant)

(Re)invent materials & products with a significantly increased impact on

resource & energy efficiency down the value chain: transport, housing

(Re)invent technologies for valorisation of waste streams within and across

sectors

Horizon2020 – SPIRE call example

Recover the waste heat produced in energy-intensive processes and transform it into

useful energy for other industrial users or for district heating

Characteristics Benefits

15-20% increase in efficiency

Energy “circularity”

SPIRE – Innovation – Policy Landscape

WWW.SPIRE2030.EU

Looking aheadHow to ensure a vibrant innovation eco-system:

1. Policy needs to catch-up the technology development

include analysis of policy requirements in the projects

adapt legislation (waste, renewables)

address education / skills

ensure better understanding of these sectors

2. Boosting private investment

ensure strategic public & private agendas are aligned in order to

focus on areas that can be taken up by the market and replicated

ensure red thread (in content & in timing) between various initiatives

boost public support & acceptance – encourage new business models

3. Maximising innovation impacts

do not forget the infrastructure

facilitate & push the “flourishing” of SPIRE’s unique feature

(8 sectors working together)

work on new public – private financing models
