Description:

The PRODUTECH R3 Innovation Pact presents itself as a strategic and integrated initiative, composed of a set of programs aimed at:

(i) Industry Transformation, realizing the development and transfer of R&D and its transformation into new products and services (particularly production technologies), empowering and supporting companies in this sector in the associated innovation processes, but also supporting companies in user sectors for the adoption and internalization of these new technologies in their production systems, contributing to competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience;

(ii) Industry Qualification for Resilience, Growth, and Innovation;

(iii) Capacity Building and Professional Training in Innovative Production Technologies, thus supporting the desired transformation;

(iv) Company internationalization; and

(v) Extensive promotion and dissemination of the Pact and its results.

This approach aims to take advantage of the transversality of production technologies and cross-fertilization processes, leveraging the positioning of companies in the production technology sector and promoting spill-over effects throughout the national economic fabric.

Objectives:

The PRODUTECH R3 project aims to induce a structural change in the Production Technology Sector (PTS), enabling it to exploit the significant investments that the industry will make with the green and digital transition, reducing external technological dependence, increasing the value added generated in the country, and contributing to a change in the specialization of the Portuguese economy.

Based on a partnership that brings together 108 companies and other entities from the PTS, the main sectors of industry, and the scientific and technological system, the project foresees the collaborative development of 85 new innovative products and services and their demonstration in over 52 pilots in user sector companies, as well as the development of complementary actions in education and training, internationalization, dissemination, and capacity building of the PTS, inducing a structural change and the creation of a true innovation ecosystem in the area of production technologies, dynamic and sustainable.

Activities:

The Innovation Pact is structured into 15 transformative programs, grouped into 5 areas (A - Product customization and local production; B - Adaptive, collaborative, and competitive production; C - Interoperable, intelligent, and autonomous production systems; D - New technologies for the production and use of advanced materials; E - Efficiency in resource use and direct integration of renewable energies into production processes) aimed at developing new products and services for industry through collaboration between companies in the PTS, user sector companies, and ENESIIs, designed to promote synergies in technological development and applicability in a wide range of user sectors. PRODUTECH R3 also consists of 3 horizontal programs, focused on complementary areas related to capacity building and training, internationalization, and qualification, and 2 support programs, aimed at the broad dissemination of the initiative and its results, as well as the overall management and coordination of the agenda.
