  1. The Water Test Network

  2. Project highlights Goal: Speed up market uptake of innovative water technology Tool: Transnational network of testing facilities Technology providers can demonstrate and finetune technology in a real setting

  3. Transnational Network A network of 14 testing facilities in 5 countries: Scotland Scotland Netherlands Netherlands Belgium Belgium Germany France James Hutton Limited laboratory in Aberdeen (1) Scottish Water’s demosites in Bo’ness & Inverness (2) CEW’s demosites in Frysland (6) WVV’s demosite in Apeldoorn (1) VITO partnering with demosite of Ghent University in Kortrijk (1) & demosite of De Watergroep in Diksmuide (1) TZW’s laboratory in Karlsruhe (1) PRIME’s demosite in Orléans (1)

  4. Water types TRL 5 - 8 Groundwater Surface water Drinking water Sea water Vegetable processing water Condensate water Municipal wastewater Industrial wastewater Hospital wastewater Sludge

  5. For whom • SME’s in North West European region • Ireland, UK, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland • Parts (big !) of France, Germany and the Netherlands

  6. The Application Process

  7. Timing • Launch innovation vouchers call: 11 December 2018 • Continuously open until 1 August 2021 • Monthly evaluation • To be submitted by last Friday of month 1 for evaluation in month 2

  8. Finances • Costs associated with testing (operator, analysis, materials) • 60% Interreg • 40% WTN partners • Costs associated with transport and accommodation • 100% SME • Estimated test cost between € 5 000 - € 40 000

  9. Fully funded support Investigative report Access to test facility Verification report Up to €50 000 of total support

  10. Problem-solution challenges • Problems defined by water users • ‘Problem looks for solution’ • 5 challenges

  11. The Project Targets At least 120 SMEs supported 90new technologies tested By 6th December 2021 Network forms a sustainable business after the project lifetime 30new technologies brought to market by the SMEs

  12. Aspects positifs pour le Brgm et au-delà • Ancrage de la plateforme régionale PRIME du BRGM dans un réseau européen de plateformes de démonstration au service des PMEs • Subventionnement des PMEs de l’Europe du Nord-Ouest voulant tester leurs technologies sur la plateforme PRIME à Orléans. • Possibilité pour les PMEs de la Région CVdL d’accéder à des plateformes de démonstration en ENO complémentaires à celles disponibles dans la Région (coûts d’accès couverts par Water Test Network) • Extension du réseau de partenaires académiques et privés en vue d’autres projets européens

  13. Aspects négatifs pour le Brgm • Diversité des règles d’éligibilité entre programmes InterReg • Règles d’éligibilité des frais de personnel peu adaptées aux établissements scientifiques autres que fonctionnaires, et mal adaptées aux partenaires privés • Lourdeur administrative des justificatifs financiers • Eligibilité partielle des coûts de personnel

  14. ANY QUESTIONS?

  15. Step 1 - Application Process • Contact innovation chaser in your country

  16. Step 2 - Application Process • Admissibility check • SME • de minimis(< € 200 000/3 past years) • Suitability of innovation

  17. Step 3 - Application Process • Full application • What is your innovative technology/concept? • Which tests are required? • Which test site is envisioned? • What is the economic impact? • What is the environmental impact? • Which markets?

  18. Step 4 - Application Process • Innovation vouchers granted • Test plan • Cost calculation

  19. ETV verification • ETV = EU Environmental Technology Verification • Validation and verification offered by James Hutton Limited
