5 The issues regarding KETs Europe has strong position in science and in patenting activity EU actors are at top of patent ranking in each KET But there is a gap between the technology base and the manufacturing base We need to add demonstrators, competitive manufacturing and product development to the technologies From Lab to Industry to Market 5

6 Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) A useful tool in development and deployment of KETs Projects in FP7: TRLs 1 4; (up to 5 6 in (pilots and demonstrators)) Projects in Horizon 2020: TRLs 3/4 7; centre at TRLs 5-6 6
