  5. Value Added Materials importance as an industrial sector Advanced Value Added Materials (VAM) is a traditional European strength with a very high market potential (Circa 1 trillion € by 2050). Energy and Environment represent the two key materials sectors in terms of growth potential and absolute value (>50%) Europe must ensure that the advanced materials sector continues to be a key industrial capability for the foreseeable future. We will only achieve this by using all our collective resources in the same direction Source: http://ec.europa.eu/research/industrial_technologies/pdf/technology-market-perspective_en.pdf EMIRI – Bridging the innovation gap for energy materials – Aahrus, 20th June 2012

  17. We believe that the SET Plan is an exciting concept for the following reasons: • It identifies one of the essential challenges for society as well as an integrated vision for solutions • It provides a fabric for European research and industry actors to work together more effectively as a coherent whole, better able to compete in a highly aggressive global environment • More effective use of resources at a European scale that avoid unnecessary duplication of intellectual efforts and infrastructure will allow to go beyond critical mass to support cutting edge research and innovation programmes • The SET Plan Materials road map highlights the necessity and desirability for a cross cutting enabling capability organised on a European scale for advanced energy materials applications EMIRI – Bridging the innovation gap for energy materials – Aahrus, 20th June 2012

  18. There are many synergies between applications for different materials. Organising materials research and development on a cross-cutting basis makes sense to be more effective and further enhance the level of excellence and strength of the sector.
