Marine South East joins with Technopolis for Scottish Enterprise project
Marine South East has been appointed a joint contractor with Technopolis for a project looking at mapping Advanced Manufacturing solutions for energy related applications in harsh environments which is being funded by the Scottish Enterprise.
The project will provide a detailed snapshot across the EU in the niche area of advanced manufacturing for energy applications in harsh environments, with particular emphasis on where Scotland's strengths can be
complemented by similar / related strengths across the EU.
Marine South East will be working with the consultancy group, Technopolis who provide evidence based support to organisations and individuals with a mission to address environmental and societal challenges and achieve economic growth by means of science, technology, innovation and education.
The project will involve putting together:
* An inventory of the relevant infrastructure, research centres (including university research groups with a strong focus in this area), key companies, clusters and
networks across the EU in the niche
* A graphical representation of the European value chain (or network) in Advanced Manufacturing for energy applications in harsh environments, including R&D
services, test houses and providers of specialist materials, components, subsystems and complete solutions
* An overview of key areas of common opportunity (i.e. where the 'match' is strongest) and the barriers which appear to inhibit regions and industry from finding each other (learn/connect) and then working together (demonstrate and upscale).
The project is due to be completed by the end of 2014; for further information please contact Jonathan Williams jw@mseuk.org
