KETs Tools Quick Guide Introduction 1

Introduction

Overview

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 website offers 2 modules i.e.

KETs Observatory Used is to identify the trends, opportunities and economic significance of each Key Enabling Technology for EU and national policy makers, and answer questions such as: how important are Key Enabling Technologies for the European economy, and what is the value of the flow of goods and trade created with these technologies?

KETs Technology Centres List of technological service centres active in Europe in the field of Key Enabling Technologies.

KETs Tools consists of:

- a public consultation platform, which is available to the general public on the Europa website,

- a secured platform for partners to submit details of KETs Technology Centres to be published to the KETs Technology Centres module,

- a restricted administrative platform, only accessible by a limited number of authenticated users, and which is used for managing the public consultation website.

This Quick Guide explains how to use the public consultation platform.

Using the KETs Observatory

IN THIS SECTION

Consulting Indicators 4

Consulting Country Policy Profiles and Dissemination Material 14

KETs Observatory is available from the KETs Tools left-hand side menu bar and from the KETs Tools homepage. The objective is to provide EU, national policymakers and business stakeholders with information (quantitative and qualitative) on the performance of EU Member States and competing economies regarding the deployment of KETs.

In concrete, the KETs Observatory offers a number of online visualization and comparison tools to identify the trends, opportunities and economic significance of each Key Enabling Technology for EU and national policy makers, and answer questions such as: how important are Key Enabling Technologies for the European economy, and what is the value of the flow of goods and trade created with these technologies?



Consulting Indicators

The Visualization Tools, which is available from KETs, offer up-to-date visual representations of indicator values and statistics concerning Key Enabling Technologies worldwide.

The visualization tools are provided through 2 different approaches:

Worldwide technology generation and exploitation Informs about the ability of countries to generate and commercialize new knowledge. It outlines the relative position of EU-28 countries for their technology, trade, production and turnover performance.

This approach offers the following categories:

– Multi-annual trends across countries (technology, production, trade & turnover indicators for each KET)

– Multi-annual trends across KETs (for each country)

– Country upward or downward trends containing information on medium-term dynamics

– Regional technological performance (patents assigned to regions based on inventor's location.)

– Composite Indicator

Technology diffusion in Europe Aims to show to what extent the EU can use the potential of KETs to improve its competitiveness by manufacturing KETs-based products and applying KETs in production processes. This approach uses production, demand and employment indicators, including:

– Multi-annual trends across countries (production, demand and employment indicators for each KET)

– Multi-annual trends across KETs (for each country)

– Country upward or downward trends containing information on medium-term dynamics

The visualization tools futher fall into 3 main categories:

Trend visualization Custom visual representations of how a given Key Enabling Technology is scoring against a specific category of indicators in one or more countries plotted on a worldwide map. These inculde: – 'Multi-annual trends across countries' – 'Multi-annual trends across KETs' – 'Country upward or downward trends'

Regional technological performance Number of patents assigned to regions based on inventor's location.

Indicator comparisons Custom chart comparing the way different Key Enabling Technologies have evolved in a given country over time, in terms of scoring against a specific indicator.
