How can I determine what the 3 to 5 key areas of interest are that should be the focus for breakthrough innovation program?

Great talk with William Connolly who succinctly described 3 types of innovation: 1. I know what I want to do and I know how to do it 2. I know what I want to do and don’t know how to do it 3. I don’t yet know what I want to do and probably won’t know how to do it when I figure out what to do And the last is breakthrough innovation. 42 Technology #innovation London Packaging Week

Manufacturing presents a diverse range of challenges that manufacturers must address to thrive in a highly competitive global landscape. To help in the implementation of the updated industrial strategy and support European-based companies tackle complex challenges, the European Commission launched 30 cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary strategic joint cluster initiatives called Euroclusters with an overall budget of €42 million. These cluster-based consortia have open calls which include financial support for innovation projects for SMEs, networking and training. During this session we will hear from atim cluster members Jason McLaughlin TPS - Total Plastic Solution and Tomás Flanagan ÉireComposites Teo about their experience of applying for these calls. Sandeep Joshi from the Technological University of the Shannon IDEAM will share details about a current Euroclusters project, INTRANSIT and outline the opportunities for SMEs to engage and be supported in applying for the innovation call valued at €49k. *These sessions are for members only - if interested in joining, please contact our cluster manager Caitríona Mordan - cmordan@atim.ie Technological University of the Shannon, TPS - Total Plastic Solution, Enterprise Ireland, Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP), TCI Network, MidlandsIreland.ie, Irish Manufacturing Research

Don't miss IoTAA’s Manufacturing Workstream's upcoming webinar on Tuesday, 10 September 2024. In 2020, a group of Plattform Industrie 4.0 participants operating in the automotive supply chain got together to form Catena-X with the goal to bring standardised and secure data exchange to the industry. The program was funded with €250 million by the German government and the industry invested another €1 billion over the past 4 years. With the first productive solution between BMW and Bosch up and running since November 2023, Catena-X is now moving into different industries and geographies. Peter Klement, Director, Sustainability Impact Platform, MIT Club of Germany and Managing Director at INOVIA Consulting will explain what Catena-X and the Manufacturing-X initiative are, how they will expand and how resilience and sustainability are built into global supply chains. You'll also learn how the concepts of Digital Twins and Data Space, as technology enablers, fit into the picture and how forward-thinking organisations are already using these concepts to become more sustainable, while at the same time gaining a competitive advantage.
