SEAR aims at seizing a major market opportunity by developing a disruptive seaweed-based process water treatment system for land-based fish farms. The VALUEFARM system will provide fish farmers with an automated system to transform nitrogen, phosphorous and CO2 into a revenue stream (seaweed) by using a modular, scalable and cost-effective system providing the ideal conditions for a more sustainable fish production system. It is estimated that in the year 5 of commercialization we will have €115M in accumulated net sales and created 22 additional FTEs. Based on our projections we estimate that, in the first 5 years of commercialization, VALUEFARM will represent a cumulative removal of N (146 t), P (5 t) and CO2 (1800 t) and the treatment of 11.7M m3 of water while producing 8 809 tons of seaweed and 2.3M tons of fish in a sustainable way. Which means that (according with the fish consumption per capita) 107M people per year will eat fish cultivated in a sustainable way.

E-textile is rapidly developing segment of electronics with an estimated growth from 2.3 billion USD in 2021 to 6.6 billion in 2026. They facilitate many socially important applications such as personalized health or elderly care or smart agriculture and production. Unfortunately, today, e-textiles are highly problematic in terms of environmental impact. Problems range from toxic materials used for production, through energy/water requirements to the difficulty end-of-life processing systems that combine traditional electronics and textile components. The aim of this project is to develop circuit technologies for e-textiles that are based on materials that minimize environmental impact, are compatible with the life-cycle of “normal” textiles to facilitate easy re-use in the spirit of circular economy and can be produced (and recycled) in an energy efficient way. The main breakthroughs with respect to the current state of technology will be in three areas: (1) A combination of digital inkjet, 3D printing and atmospheric plasma to produce sustainable textile electronics building blocks from environmentally friendly materials (e.g conducting polymers such as PEDOT:PSS and carbon based polymer nanocomposites). (2) Going beyond embedding electronics in textile structures on substrate and layer levels as is state of the art today, and using fibrous materials (enriched with electronic properties as stipulated above) as such to create electronic components such as transistors, capacitors etc. and combine them into more complex circuits. (3) Comprehensive, lifecycle-oriented model of the environmental impact of such e-textile technologies and their applications. Overall STELECT will create the foundations for a new paradigm for e-textiles development that is not just environment friendly and sustainable but also fundamentally changes the way e-textiles and wearable systems are designed and built facilitating whole new application domains and associated markets.

ppqSense was founded on 2016 as a spin-off company of the National Research Council (CNR) of Italy. Our core business is the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of high-end opto-electronic equipment for high-precision and high-sensitivity spectroscopy and quantum optical technologies. We are in the market with C14-SCAR that is the first laser spectrometer capable of measuring ¹⁴C (radiocarbon) based on the Saturated-absorption CAvity Ring-down (SCAR) technology. Among our customers are RISE, Chevron and Eni who are using C14-SCAR for measuring the biobased content (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, HVO) of renewable diesel and bioplastics. Based on C14-SCAR success, we now present BIO-SCAR a high-precision, laser-based, compact and cost-effective analyser that can detect the radiocarbon contained in a gaseous CO2 sample during (pre) clinical ADME studies of pharmaceutical enterprises. BIO-SCAR maintains the small size and operation voltage of Liquid Scintillation Counting but presents a superior precision (BIO-SCAR: 1 pMC, LSC: >>4 pMC in 10 min measurement) and throughput (BIO-SCAR: 2 min/sample, LSC: 300 min/sample). BIO-SCAR reduces sample preparation and analysis time, allowing the operator to perform significantly faster, unsupervised 24/7 automated analysis. This dramatically fuels laboratory throughput by allowing up to 400 samples to be queued and analyzed in a single day. With BIO-SCAR we target the global drug discovery market valued at €55.3 billion in 2021, and expected to reach €111.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.16%. Based on our business plan this project will create €26 million revenues with €16 million profits in 2030. Moreover, the technological developments of this project will let us reduce the COGS by 30%.

Climate Smart Research (CSR) is a research & innovation project involving 29 Experimental Research Stations (ERS) across Europe. It will accelerate the transition to climate neutral agriculture. CSR contributes to EU climate goals by developing new Climate Smart Farming (CSF) knowledge and innovations and boost the potential of ERS in realising these goals. More specific CSR will: 1) Co-develop a conceptual foundation for Climate Smart research on agricultural ERS and uncovering implications on system level to assess effectivity, synergies and trade-offs of CSF; 2) Develop cutting edge CSF approaches on selected ERS across 4 pedo-climatic zones with significant mitigation of GHG emissions (-55% to climate neutral) and adaptation to climate change; 3) Collect and compare climate tool-kits, services and decision support systems also for possible use on average farms across the EU and scientifically validate emerging solutions coming from practice; 4) Foster the capacity of research station actors through various knowledge exchange and networking activities amongst ERS and identify pathways for effective climate research and climate research design processes. This supports the development of practice-oriented climate smart knowledge, skills and innovations; 5) Maximise the impact of CSR by ensuring that project results are effectively embedded within EIP-AGRI and national/regional AKIS networks by developing and implementing a strategy for effective Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication. The networks of pilot demonstration farmers and climate smart advisors established in sister projects CFD and CSA will be leveraged to ensure that CSR practice-oriented solutions are widely accessible to farmers across Europe.

SoliDAIR brings together 10 manufacturing, technological and research experts to accelerate the uptake of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics in European manufacturing, using Data as an enabler. It will co-develop and demonstrate tailored solutions to digitalise and automate visual inspection and physical testing, enable predictive quality control and process optimisation. AI & Robotics systems are not extensively used in the production industry, because it is not clear whether they are safe and when or why they will fail. The SoliDAIR project tackles this problem by researching, developing and testing methods that are as solid and trustworthy as possible to be adopted by the European industry, while being cost-efficient to develop and replicate. New methods and tools will be developed by research and technology providers, which leverage the current state of the art in visual AI, AI for process data, and smart & collaborative Robotics. The developed technologies will be applied and demonstrated in 4 industry use cases to prove their functionality and applicability in real production environments. The objective is to improve production processes through digitalised and automated quality control for high volume, high rate and flexible manufacturing. The use cases are led by mature European manufacturing companies and represent problems that every producing industry struggles with. Solving them increases the process efficiency and flexibility, while improving the working conditions of the process staff. The developed methods shall be efficiently and easily adaptable and replicable, so they can be easily applied to new use cases outside the consortium. The accelerated adoption of the AI & Robotics solutions, tools and methods solutions will facilitate a strong increase in the competitiveness and sustainability of the EU manufacturing companies across sectors.

Waste in humanitarian Operations: Reduction and Minimisation (WORM)'s overall objective is designing guidelines and support actions for circular economy in the humanitarian sector. WORM focuses on two selected settings: field hospital deployments, and humanitarian livelihood programmes with a waste picking component. Across these settings, the project focuses on several cross-cutting focus areas: • the integration of bio-based technological innovation solutions in the humanitarian context, • using procurement as a gatekeeper for waste avoidance, and gateway to integrate innovative solutions, • improvements in waste management, and the use of less polluting waste treatment methods, • a specific focus on the sustainable livelihoods of waste pickers, and • policy development, advocacy and a heightened local awareness of improved waste management in the relevant local contexts. Following a multi-actor approach, WORM brings together medical humanitarian organisations and humanitarian organisations with livelihood programmes with innovation and supplier clusters, procurement service providers, logistics service providers, waste management service providers and academic partners. WORM seeks to involve a myriad of different stakeholders in data collection and policy development, including but not limited to, humanitarian actors positioned in the field during an operation, local waste management companies, start-ups focusing on bio-based solutions, policymakers (both local and global), and research institutions. WORM includes partners from low- and middle-income countries (esp. Kenya, Viet Nam) since humanitarian operations are often implemented in these contexts. WORM will focus on these contexts in their local awareness campaigns for improved waste management.
