註釋The adoption of Advanced Technologies by companies is seen as a prerequisite for the modernisation of the European industry and the lasting creation of growth and jobs in the EU. The adoption of Advanced Technologies allows to move towards customised high mix, low volume manufacturing, increasing energy efficiency as well as productivity. These are pivotal factors in achieving long-term competitiveness on the market and preserving the natural environment for subsequent generations. Advanced Technologies are increasingly understood as a key driver for the EU economy as they will increase European industries' productivity, agility, and flexibility, keeping up competitive advantage against competitors from emerging countries which are lowering the quality/precision gap. Although the European economy represents a world class research capacity, it still faces important challenges, many of them exacerbated during the COVID19 crisis, such as a lower private investment in research and development (R&D) compared to its largest competitors (e.g. US), the uneven distribution of R&D investments, or the insufficient exploitation of the potential of the single market. This report presents an overview of the roles that technology centres (TC) play with regards to SMEs and the needs of these companies with respect to technology centres. Second, it presents a gap analysis of the available offer for SMEs in Europe. Finally, it presents a series of recommendations for action to improve SMEs ́ access across Europe to ATI TC.
