Agenda: PRODUTECH R3 - Recovery - Resilience - Reindustrialisation

Mobilizing Agenda of the Production Technologies for Reindustrialization

Project Nr.: C645808870-00000067 – investment project Nr.60

Consortium Leader: COLEP Packaging Portugal S.A.

Description:

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.

Data of approval: 15/09/2022             Starting date: 01/01/2022
Closing date: 31/12/2025                    Duration: 48 Months
Investment: 166 988 013,71 Euros      Public funding: 97 111 730,27 Euros

Objectives:
The PRODUTECH R3 project aims to bring about a structural change in the Production
Technologies sector (PT), enabling it to exploit the significant investments the industry will make
in terms of the green and digital transition, thus reducing external technological dependence,
increasing the added value generated in the country and contributing to a change in the
specialization of the Portuguese economy.
Based on a partnership that brings together 108 companies and other entities from the
Production Technologies, the main sectors of industry and the scientific and technological
system, the project envisages the collaborative development of 85 new innovative products and
services and their demonstration in more than 52 pilots in companies from the user sectors, and
the development of complementary actions in the areas of education and training,
internationalization, dissemination and capacity building of the Production Technologies,
inducing a structural change and the creation of a truly dynamic and sustainable innovation eco-
system in the area of production technologies.

Activities:
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.

Keywords:
