Erwartete Ergebnisse

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

• owners of Horizon project results that are better prepared to bring their products, practices and solutions to the market, with clearer value propositions, validated user cases, and credible commercialisation pathways;

• strengthened links between research outcomes, Horizon Europe instruments and public/private knowledge intermediaries foster a more cohesive and responsive innovation journey;

• enhanced collaboration between research, education and innovation stakeholders (knowledge triangle) ensures more effective exploitation of impactful research results and stronger alignment with societal and industrial needs.

Umfang

A structural gap persists between research outcomes of Horizon 2020 Pillar III [1] , Horizon Europe Pillar II (Horizon) and the initiatives supporting knowledge valorisation. While many Horizon projects end with experimental proof of concepts and laboratory validation, most market- and business-oriented support mechanisms (e.g. acceleration, investment or pre-commercial procurement) typically engage only at later stage, such as through validation in relevant environments, prototyping or demonstration. As a result, critical elements for innovation de-risking (e.g. identifying concrete use cases, validating results in real-world environments, defining customer segments, developing viable business models or intellectual property strategies) are often underdeveloped when Horizon funding ends. This disconnect disrupts the innovation pipeline, limiting the capacity of promising innovations to progress toward follow-on financing and market deployment.

Thus, there is a need to facilitate a continuous innovation journey, from unexploited research outputs to deployment, leveraging existing structures and activities supporting innovation development, such as Knowledge and Innovation Centres (KICs), Regional Innovation Valleys, European Startup and Scaleup Hubs already supported through current Horizon Europe Pilar III instruments or other relevant national, regional and transnational innovation hubs and centres. A successful continuous innovation journey requires knowledge valorisation support to advance Horizon’s collaborative research results with high innovation potential (whether technological, non-technological or SSH-based) into validated, high-impact innovations (both because of their financial and societal benefit potential). This innovation journey should be paved through European, national and regional innovation ecosystems, guiding those innovations towards the right programmes and attracting public and private investors.

Projects should cover the following activities:

• scout and map promising innovations, startups, SMEs and exploitable results emerging from Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe (Horizon) - whether recently concluded or ongoing - and systematically integrate them into the innovation pipeline, with particular attention to Pillar II projects and outputs with credible innovation potential;

• launch competitive calls targeting single Horizon projects and/or owners of Horizon results within their thematic area, to support validation and valorisation of their results. Economic support is to be used solely for prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, product validation and market replication of exploitable results in (near to) operational environment;

• provide guidance and facilitate access for selected candidates - identified through scouting, mapping and competitive calls - to ‘real-life’ validation sites, including but not limited to demonstration sites, living labs, testing facilities or industrial partners;

• provide expert…
