How Izmir is strengthening the innovation and entrepreneurial potential of the region

Lucía Cortés — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 11:24:54 +0000

Deeptech innovation in fields such as AI, IoT, biotechnology, robotics, and augmented reality applications mean unique products, new jobs, and new markets. Insufficient financial resources, lack of support mechanisms, and difficulty in innovating while serving customers often hinder the development of solutions in these fields.

Izmir city in Turkey is one of the administrative centres that is actively working on overcoming these barriers. The goal is to transform innovative ideas in the field of technology into value-added products and services by creating an entrepreneurial-friendly ecosystem. A series of support-programmes have been launched in the past years to develop the infrastructure and enable researchers and entrepreneurs to acquire new skills and get access to professional networks and funding opportunities.

Izmir NIC project

“There are a lot of different initiatives dedicated to boost the innovation potential and the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region. They are on the right path, but still at an early stage,” said Lorenzo Valeriani, Senior Expert at META Group. Lorenzo participated in the İzmir Network and Innovation Centre Project (İzmir NIC), which aimed to stimulate the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to meet the needs of users in an international context.

Funded through EUROPAID, the project aimed to improve early-stage start-ups investment readiness through:

Ecosystem building: increase the capacity of the ecosystem through training, networking, legal support, awareness raising and the creation of a partnership framework.
Technology framework: create a reliable and scalable technology infrastructure to allow the efficient delivery of Izmir NIC Hub services.

“One of our main objectives was to equip local trainers with the necessary concepts and methodologies required when mentoring innovators working in very competitive and highly specialised fields. The trainers we have worked with had different backgrounds but were very engaged and eager to learn international best practices. If all the players in the ecosystem are involved and willing to work together, great results can be expected in the following years,” Lorenzo added.

Bringing innovation to the market

Laying the foundation of a strong ecosystem is a prerequisite for encouraging innovators to develop novel solutions. Another one is providing them with expert support in complementary areas that allow for their solutions to reach the market and generate impact.

In Izmir, this second phase is addresses by the D-TECH4ENT initiative. The aim of this project is to nurture promising disruptive ideas by providing deep-tech entrepreneurs with support for prototyping, validation, and demonstration in real world conditions, and allowing for wider deployment, scale-up and uptake.

The incubator serves as a “hatchery” for early-stage high risk deep-techs startups, with training programmes covering marketing, pitching, financing and management. After the trainings, the organizers will hold a match-making meeting in İzmir to bring together corporate companies, investors, and start-ups from the relevant ecosystem, and to increase their opportunities for cooperation. D-TECH4ENT expects to facilitate the development of 12 new and innovative products, as well as 6 national and 2 international patent applications.

Deep tech startups offer unique opportunities by developing impactful solutions to real life problems like climate change, healthcare, or access to green energy. In Europe, and according to the 2023 European Deep Tech report by Dealroom, European deep tech startups raised $17.7B in 2022, a 22% decrease from 2021. The four main categories in deep tech are novel AI, future of computing, novel energy, and space tech.

Initiatives like İzmir NIC and D-TECH4ENT enable deep tech innovators and entrepreneurs to build the next generation of category-defining businesses that will shape our societies. Contact our team to learn how META Group can support your organisation with similar support solutions.

Polytechnic University of Turin: making a difference through the impact of research result

Lucía Cortés — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 08:00:01 +0000

Knowledge is dynamic and fast-growing, but there is still a gap across Europe when it comes to fostering its use to address societal challenges.

“Unfortunately, the implementation of the third mission is not yet part of the DNA of most academic institutions. In many cases, universities don’t do much to promote the impact of the work done by researchers and professors, and oftentimes research initiatives are following a trend rather than pursuing a mission“, says Andrea Di Anselmo, President of META Group.

This is not the case of the Polytechnic University of Turin, the oldest Italian public technical university. The institution was awarded by the European Commission with the “HR Excellence in Research”, a distinction that recognizes the commitment in ensuring a positive and attractive environment for researchers from all over the world. Research and education are pursued together with a deep cooperation with the socio-economic actors. This facilitates the knowledge transfer and leads to a tangible impact in the economic, societal and scientific sphere.

Making a difference through the impact of research result

At the University of Turin, META Group delivered a capacity building exercise for both the technical and administrative staff and the researchers. The aim of this pilot was to raise awareness on how to enable impact when implementing Horizon Europe projects. The focus was on how to create the context for maximising impact. This is becoming a critical aspect of research initiatives supported by Horizon Europe and also by other funding programs, such as Next Generation EU, etc.

META proposed a “pathway” that engaged side by side the staff of the EU research office and those involved in research activities. The exercise included a workshop for the university staff followed by a webinar for the researchers to analyse impact in Horizon Europe projects.

The programme also included an on-site writing lab on how to prepare a solid and competitive impact section in a EU-funded proposal. This last session was open to researchers and professionals from the technical staff and research office. This opportunity gave them the chance to improve the most critical aspects of the impact section in their current projects or applications.

ECO2Fuels: Paving the way for the first CO2 to e-fuel conversion system

Lucía Cortés — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 07:00:25 +0000

The fossil fuels used in the energy sector is responsible for about 75% of the current CO2 emissions.

Few things have worse reputation than fossil fuels. This is because their intensive use in the energy sector is responsible for about 75% of the current CO2 emissions. As it is well known, this threatens to turn the planet into a climate hell.

But what if we could reverse the process and produce clean fuels and chemical products from the CO2 by polluting industries?

The ECO2Fuel project aims to change this paradigm by building the first CO2 to clean fuel conversion system worldwide. It involves designing, manufacturing, operating, validating, and bringing to the market a ground-breaking industrial process and technology.

Researchers expect the project results to convert 742 tons of CO2 per year into economical and sustainable liquid e-fuels (produced from renewable or decarbonised electricity) and chemicals.

Horizon2020 supports the five-year project. 15 international partners, from the chemical, energy, hydrogen, mechanical engineering and automotive industry, and several research institutions implemented the project.

ECO2Fuels: reaching the first CO2 to e-fuel conversion system

As the ECO2Fuel exploitation partner, META Group is adopting a demand-led (problem-driven) approach. The objective is to address the needs and problems of the potential adopters of ECO2Fuel’s results. This means selecting and validating potential users based on the unique value proposition. Another crucial part of the exploitation effort is identifying the necessary steps. This is not just to secure further funding, but also to reach the market once the project is completed.

The process involves tools tested in previous European projects, as well as during the delivery of services to SMEs and start-ups. It will use the “build, measure, learn” formula from the Lean Startup approach to involve stakeholders, finalise business plans and enable impact. META Group will also provide support to manage IP and ownership issues once the use model for each result is defined.

“META Group commits to employing its unique experience, paving the way for ECO2Fuel’s results to reach the market. Our approach assumes that the use of a result is at the base for generating an impact. The change and the benefit we are looking for”, said Antonello Fiorucci, EU Project Designer at META

Supporting technological innovation

Almost every industry in the world uses carbon in some form. It is an essential element in the production of fuels, electronics, and various materials and alloys. However, CO2 emissions related to fossil fuels are a global concern driving political, scientific and societal efforts to decarbonise the economy.

CO2 emissions from energy use are a major contributor to climate change and account for approximately 75% of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, according to Eurostat. Climatic conditions (cold/long winter or hot summer), economic growth, population size, transport and industrial activities are some of the factors influencing emissions.

Supporting innovation and technologies that enable decarbonisation is one of the main ways to achieve the climate and emissions reduction goals across the economy.

Incubatore Creativo Istria: 1st acceleration programme concluded

Lucía Cortés — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 07:00:18 +0000

The participants received training from the META experts to develop their innovative business projects.

The first edition of Incubatore Creativo Istria acceleration programme came to a close on 13 July in Portoroz, Slovenia, bringing together young entrepreneurs, partners, local media and public authorities.

Two groups of young entrepreneurs presented the business projects that they had developed during the seven-week incubator with the help of META experts Lorenzo Valeriani and Francesca Natali.

From Jellyfish to Real Estate

Jellyfish may seem nothing more than a nuisance for beachgoers, but their massive growth over the past two decades is, in fact, an increasing environmental and economic threat. Their rapid proliferation has been attributed to warming seas, overfishing and increased pollution.

One of the initiatives developed within the Istria Incubator may serve as a solution with both economic and environmental benefits. The Jellynovation projectaims to develop a process for extracting collagen from jellyfish in order to create natural food supplements, while controlling jellyfish populations and preserving marine wildlife.

“We have already talked to several consultants in this field to find funding for research and development and then we will see if we can find more capital to invest in production, so in four years we will see about making the first sale“, said Dyego Tuljak, who launched Jellynovation with his colleague Alex Zigante.

Incubatore Creativo Istria

The second business idea developed in the Istria Incubator tackles a challenge that became obvious during the pandemic. 2you is a start-up project that will provide virtual solutions and immersive experiences to people looking to sell or buy apartments and properties remotely.

“We thought that during the Covid period it was not possible to go and see the flats, so we thought that we could bring the flats to the people“, explained Jaka Mrak, who created 2you together with his partner Izidor Rojs.

Going further, META and the Incubatore Creativo Istria will continue to support the two teams by providing a free-of-charge working space for both groups until the end of the year and identifying funding opportunities.

“Both teams made an incredible progress since the start of the programme. We strongly believe these projects have great potential because they address problems that have a considerable impact in their specific fields“, explained Lorenzo Valeriani from META. “This is a newly born accelerator and the first initiative in the region, and we are very happy to be part of the process of growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem“, he added.

By joining this initiative, META continues its mission of providing entrepreneurs with the vision, know-how, and tools to transform their ideas in viable businesses with a positive societal impact.

Assessing the innovation potential of sustainable projects for the Mediterranean area

Lucía Cortés — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 07:00:47 +0000

PRIMA is developing much-needed solutions to tackle this situation. Environmental and social changes are sadly affecting the Mediterranean agricultural sector.

These systems have suffered in recent years from severe water shortages and declining crop yields. Indeed, the Mediterranean is “water-poor” compared to other equally populated regions of the world. When this lack of clean water is coupled with a lack of nutritious food, this has adverse effects on the population’s health and stability. These complex challenges can only be addressed by engaging in research and then applying innovative solutions.

The Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) is developing much-needed solutions to tackle this situation. This programme is a ten-year initiative (from 2018 to 2028), launched by the European Union and 19 Euro-Mediterranean countries. They aim to face the challenges posed by climate change. It was founded through Horizon 2020. The idea is to develop and implement efficient and sustainable solutions for the production and supply of food and water in the Mediterranean.

This year, META is contributing to this mission via its advisory services. This enables PRIMA to move closer to its goal by setting the innovation potential of a selection of funded projects. Technical assistance of this nature will allow PRIMA to identify the most promising funded projects. Also, they will assess their needs to maximise the impact of these innovations.

Setting the potential of 3 key areas

Since 2018, PRIMA Foundation has spent a total of €225M, with more than 1570 beneficiaries and 168 projects funded. Agriculture accounts for 42% of its activities. The agri-food value chains committees for 26%. While a quarter of their projects focus on water management.

Farming Systems: PRIMA’s main activity refers to sustainable farming systems under Mediterranean environmental constraints. There is an urgent need to improve the productivity, efficiency, and sustainability of agricultural farming systems. This is due to the scarcity of resources, demographic growth, contamination, and desertification. Thus, PRIMA expects to provide high-added value products and to increase the products’ shelf-life.

Agri-food value chain: Over-dependence on international markets can have an impact on local produce and regional markets. Supplying sustainable food regularly and highlighting the relevance of a healthy Mediterranean diet could make local products more competitive.

Water management: more than 180 people suffer from water shortages in the countries of the Mediterranean basin. This area aims to secure the availability of water, as well as to improve its management by developing innovative and efficient solutions.

For some time now, scientists have been sounding the alarm bells on climate change, among other things, droughts have become more frequent and there is no life without water. The Mediterranean areas has already experienced a warming of 1.5°C, exceeding the global average which is 1.1°C. Thus, sustainable and stable practices such as agricultural conservation to improve soil quality, or the development of low-cost water-saving technologies will be crucial to advance in this transformation.

If you are part of the industry, whether an institution or a researcher, and want to join PRIMA’s community, get in touch with them! Find more information about the thematic areas and how to get involved here.
