Industry Involvement Sample Clauses

Industry Involvement. It isn’t necessarily easy to involve industry and also not to the same extent in all TKIs. In formulating the KIAs there are several ways of involving industry, for example through regional or sectoral branch organisations There are a number of factors that play a role in this. One is that in the end, the missions are formulated by government. Another is that KIAs are drafted by the top sectors, which for some topics means an emphasis on a rather scientific approach, putting industry focus more to the background. And there are some sectors that are inherently more difficult to involve, given that there may be less business opportunities or less financial carrying capacity, which is key to creating willingness to collaborate (‘what’s in it for them?’). The missions create common goals, which are often aligned with industry, however at the end of the day, a company does need to make a profit. For example with regard to biodiversity or resilient nature related research areas the commitment of industry is lower than in energy related projects. And it is visible in the context of applications for funding, in which knowledge institutes more often take the initiative to apply. This raises the question if a change in mindset is required. There is a multitude of financial instruments that can be used for mission implementation (see section 5), however should there be a stronger focus on asking companies what their questions regarding innovations are? One of the TKIs put out a call for SMEs in which companies could decide their focus (of course fitting within the KIA) and this received a very large number of applications. For companies, such a bottom-up approach to calls can be more interesting. There is also potential to learn here from the Business Finland case study and the Finnish approach Veturi.

Industry Involvement. Advisory Teams This is not a new lesson to be learned but rather reinforcement of previous experiences. Critical to the adoption and success of any industry-wide program is the active participation of Advisory Teams to share in the development process, to review of deliverables prior to broad dissemination, and to extend the message to other segments of the industry.

Industry Involvement. Stuart Energy Systems (formerly the Electrolyzer Corporation), Canada, remains a signatory to the HIA and an active participant in the research tasks. Norsk Hydro, Norway, served as Operating Agent for Task-16 (Hydrogen from Carbon-Containing Materials). The Operating Agents for Tasks 12/17, 14 and 18, were/are from private consulting firms. Additionally, a number of industries participated in the collaborative Tasks (refer to Table-3). Such participation is predominantly in Task-16, with significant industry participation evolving in the newest task extension, Task-18 (Integrated Systems Evaluation). Several of the participating publicly funded research institutions have close connections to local private industries. These industries benefit from the IEA-HIA work as well. However, as indirect beneficiaries, they are not mentioned in the industry list below. The activities of all other Tasks are focusing largely on the conduct of collaborative, pre-commercial RD&D.
