PRODUTECH R3

The PRODUTECH R3 Innovation Pact is a strategic and integrated initiative, comprising a set of programs aimed at:

(i) Transforming Industry, developing and transferring R&D and transforming it into new products and services (namely production technologies), enabling and supporting companies in this sector in their associated innovation processes, but also supporting companies in user sectors to adopt and endogenize these new technologies in their production systems, contributing to competitiveness, sustainability and resilience;

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

(iii) Training and Professional Education in Innovative Production Technologies, thus supporting the ambitious transformation;

(iv) Internationalization of companies;

(v) Broad promotion and dissemination of the Pact and its outcomes.

This approach aims to take advantage of the cross-cutting nature of production technologies and cross-fertilization processes, leveraging the positioning of companies in the production technologies sector and promoting knock-on effects throughout the national economic fabric.

The PRODUTECH R3 Innovation Pact is structured into 15 transformative programmes, which are grouped into 5 areas (A – Customization of products and proximity 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 the use of resources and direct integration of renewable energies in production processes) and are geared towards the development of new Products, Processes and Services (PPS) for industry, through collaboration between Production Technology companies, user sector companies and ENESIIs (National Scientific and Technological System Entities, Technology Centers and Sector Entities). These programs are designed to promote synergies in terms of technological development, with applicability to a wide range of user sectors. PRODUTECH R3 is also made up of 3 transversal programs aimed at complementary related areas, such as capacity building and training, internationalization and qualification, and 2 support programs, aimed at the wide dissemination of the initiative and its results, as well as the overall management and coordination of the agenda.

Within this Agenda, INL will contribute to the development of new sensors for the characterization of NG+H2 gas mixtures and for the characterization of industrial gas effluents.
