KETs Technology Centres Quick Guide Introduction 1

Introduction

KETs Tools is an online platform for monitoring the so-called Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) identified in Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. Key Enabling Technologies are those technologies which are increasingly driving innovation today and are expected to continue to be major drivers of economic growth tomorrow. These include: nanotechnology, industrial biotechnology, advanced materials, micro- and nano electronics, photonics and advanced manufacturing technologies.

The secured platform allows partners to submit details of KETs Technology Centres to be published to the KETs Tools is an online platform.

The KETs Technology Centre Mapping mechanism in the 'Mapping of KETs Centres' menu provides overviews of all technological service centres active in Europe in the field of Key Enabling Technologies.

Any visitor can consult the list of KETs TCs or use the interactive map to find specific TCs as well as consult and export their details. The information about a TC includes its name, type, main competences, technology readiness levels, market sectors and the key enabling technologies that it is specialized in.

Additionally, the list of KETs TCs can be updated by KETs partners and supplemented with details of own Technology Centres.
