Work Plan and Progress Update
November 2018

2. WP3 Work Plan
Task 3.1: perform a scan of recent and ongoing European projects and initiatives (including COLUMBUS) to identify which ones can contribute directly to the mapping activities in WP5 and WP6 [Note: interact with WP5]
Task 3.2: analyse how the KETs identified in the project map onto the value chains identified in Blue Growth studies (the original Blue Growth analysis and subsequent reports by Ecorys on behalf of DG Mare) [Note: ideas on methodology feed back into Task 3.1]
Task 3.3: elaborate a detailed plan addressing the future of the KETmaritime network

3. Task 3.1 – Completed Task 3.1: Project Inheritance
perform a scan of recent and ongoing European projects and initiatives (including COLUMBUS) to identify which ones can contribute directly to the mapping activities in WP5 and WP6 [Note: interact with WP5]
Results:
Database of relevant projects created, drawing on:
Database developed for WP5
COLUMBUS
EMODNET
Waterborne TP
Global Technology Trends (LR)
Major sub-sectors of Blue Economy identified, compatible with the segmentation of the DG Mare blue growth studies (feedback from Task 3.2)

4. Task 3.2 – Partly Complete Task 3.2: Value Net Mapping
analyse how the KETs identified in the project map onto the value chains identified in Blue Growth studies (the original Blue Growth analysis and subsequent reports by Ecorys on behalf of DG Mare) [Note: ideas on methodology feed back into Task 3.1]
Results
Each project in Task 3.1 database mapped against:
One or more KETs addressed in project
One of the blue economy sub-sectors identified in Task 3.1
Distribution of projects analysed
Supporting technology of ICT identified as intermediate technology drawing on several KETs
Report drafted to present results from 3.1 and 3.2.

5. Maritime ICT advances depend mainly on three KETs
Nano & Microelectronics
Photonics
Advanced Manufacturing Technologies
Marine sensors
Satellite sensors
Autonomous vessels
Rapid prototyping
Systems dependent upon or supporting ICT applications
Underwater cables
Offshore robotics

6. Distribution of Maritime Projects across KETs

7. Industrial Biotechnology KET: relevance to Blue Economy

8. Micro & Nano Electronics KET: relevance to Blue Economy

9. ICT Supporting Technology: relevance to Blue Economy

10. Points for Discussion Approach to value net mapping input to WP5
Use value chain structure
Focusing on speed-to-market for novel products and services exploiting KETs
Alignment with innovation support measures
Dissemination of results to date?
Leave discussion on Task 3.3 until 2019.
