2. Traditional Technology Transfer Centers (TTC)
Isolated TCs
limited infrastructure,
focused expertise,
slow knowledge development
input and supply to innovation is unilateral
Focus on PR with industry rather than real experimenting and collaborative innovation
Low TRL levels (1-3) rather than readiness for production (TRL 6-7)
Lack of real-life PoC scenarios

3. HORSE Centers of Competence
What are they?
Settings representative of manufacturing installations: France, Germany, Netherlands, Slovenia
Robot and supplies used in production lines.
Their role?
Simplify usage and facilitate access to robotics by European industry and especially first users SME.
Offer expert support for advising on deployment and fast assessment of robotics solutions in manufacturing.
Capitalise lessons learnt and best practices.
Their scope?
Capturing the industrial ecosystem in each region and addressing real industrial challenges

4. 3 TTC to CCs
3 HORSE CCs are equipped and set up exploiting and upgrading existing facilities, equipment, experience
France – Paris-Saclay-CEA
Germany – Munich-TUM
Netherlands – Delft-TNO
Developing and promoting in common the HORSE framework
HORSE CCs are networked, sharing common approaches, technologies & know-how
Common approaches are enhanced with own/specialised focus and expertise and development of their regional presence

5. CCs Approach
Setting up the concepts of the HORSE CCs and their services as examples to take up in Europe in areas of:
networking among themselves and with their ecosystem
aligning approaches i.e. developing scenarios for demonstrating HORSE, promoting its value
Setting up common and differentiating infrastructure
Structured exchanging of technological know-how, adopting common standards
Developing services
Approaching regional SMEs and policy actors
Business modeling

6. Setting up a new CC in Slovenia
One completely new CC is being established in Slovenia- Celje-TCS
Capitalized by the set-up of 3 CCs
Contributes to the set up of common approaches
Adopts them and promotes them in Slovenia
The lessons learned will be reported for new CCs, thus providing a seed for the future and a model for the deployment of Competence Centres in Europe

7. How CCs in HORSE differ from TTC?
Well-networked in Europe and in the regions with the ecosystem (suppliers, adopters, policy makers)
Infrastructure and knowledge are developed in common, and promoted at a regional level, thus reaching wider SME population in Europe
Expertise is gained faster due to collaborations
Demonstrations of high TRL and high industrial relevance (demonstrations are based on real industrial challenges and stakeholders)
Own sustainability is ensured
