SmartEEs

Archived project
This project started on Sep 14, 2017 to end on Sep 30, 2020.
SmartEES will be the Digital Innovation Hub dedicated to Organic & Large Area Electronics (OLAE), an organised European innovation network that provides both access to competencies and business support for innovation adoption. SmartEEs will help the European industry to create a competitive advantage within the global economy by providing access to disruptive OLAE technologies and innovation support in a pragmatic, operative and efficient pan-European manner.

A One-Stop-Shop will be set to establish a collaborative environment and to provide wider access to the technology at the same time as coordinating the bespoke services and efficiently and effectively linking them together.

20 Application Experiments will be conducted to explore the technology transfer into business, organisation of cooperation, access to finance, services to be provided and act as showcases to raise awareness and activate potential users. The established eco-system will be harnessed by the consortium to propel the continuity of the initiative beyond SmartEEs. This will include the formulation of a comprehensive business plan as a strategic outcome.

This project began on September 14th 2017 and will last 3 years. It is under the lead of The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
