KAM2CentralPoland-4 project will be implemented by EEN-CP consortium in central regions of Poland. The overall objective of the project is to increase efficiency and effectiveness of research and innovation investments that will contribute to smart growth in EU countries. There are two main objectives the Consortium aim to achieve by delivering services under the present H2020 call: (1) the first objective is to ensure that key SME beneficiaries of the H2020 European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot are helped efficiently so that their full innovation potential can be exploited. They shall receive dedicated Key Account Management (KAM) services by the Network, which should be complemented by coaching services (not delivered by the Network). (2) The second objective is to ensure that the innovation management capacity of the SME clients is increased via a consulting services enhancing innovation management. Both services (Key account management and Enhancing innovation management capacity) are compatible with the general offers of the Consortium partners, which allow the latter to deliver services targeted at different stages of company development. Also, the services will be addressed to the most dynamic and innovative entities which have the potential to target international markets. That, in turn will help to build the brand of consortium members as providers of valuable services to the demand of modern companies.

The KAM2CentralPoland-3 project will be implemented by the EEN-CP consortium in central parts of Poland. The overall objective of the project is to increase the efficiency and the effectiveness of R&D and innovation investments that will contribute to smart growth in EU countries. There are two main objectives the Consortium aim to achieve by delivering services under the present Horizon 2020 call: (1) The first objective is to provide the beneficiaries of the following schemes: SME Instrument (SMEI), Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) and Future and Emerging Technologies Open (FET-Open) with a useful and value-added service which will enable them to innovate and compete on the international markets; (2) The second objective is to build its own brand of a reliable organization that provides valuable and comprehensive services, which help to increase the innovation management capacity to the business community, and in particular to innovative SMEs. Both the KAM and EIMC services are compatible with the general offers of the Consortium partners, which allows the latter to deliver services targeted at different stages of company development. Also, the above mentioned services will be addressed to the most dynamic and innovative entities which have the potential to target international markets. That, in turn, will help to build the brand of consortium members as providers of valuable services adjusted to the demand of modern companies.

PROMATAI project aims to develop a product in the field of testing the extrusion method of nanomaterials/bio(nano) composites using AI algorithms. Prototype will be developed and made of a special design for the Feed Opening Section (FOE), the Adjustable Groove Section (AGFS), the Rotary Barrel Section (RBS) and the additional Plasticizing System (PS) of the single-screw extruder, which will be tested in virtual and real conditions of their operation depending on the size of the introduced part. It is assumed that these improvements will increase the efficiency of the extrusion process, reducing the amount of waste and energy usage and enable usage of new materials. The first prototype in the world of a "smart extruder" is planned, which will adjust its geometric elements to the dimensions of the material. Project activities are aimed at significantly strengthening cooperation between industry and academia, creating new and transferring existing knowledge between partners. Project consists of 7 WPs: WP1-4 are focused on the development of innovative extruder elements, including: FOE, AGFS, RBS and the entire plasticizing system. WP5 focuses on networking activities conducted by delegations, including workshops, trainings, and lectures on the topic of the project and the development of skills in the field of R&D infrastructure, competences, digitization and internationalization. WP6 is about the wide dissemination of knowledge and the exploitation of project results (conferences, fairs, publications, IPR, website, social media, outreach to public activities), WP7 is about management and administration of the whole project. PROMATAI is coordinated by Łukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Engineering of Polymer Materials and Dyes (Poland), partners are: Lublin University of Technology (Poland), Technical University of Kosice (Slovakia), University of West Attica (Greece), LPH a.s. (Slovakia), UAB Dirmeta (Lithuania) and Cerca Trova Ltd (Bulgaria).

The KAM2CentralPoland project will be implemented by the consortium called EEN-CP in central parts of Poland. The main objective of the project is to increase the efficiency and the effectiveness of R&D and innovation investments that will contribute to smart growth in EU countries. Main objective of the project will be implemented via two specific objectives: (1) To increase the innovation potential of small and medium enterprises lacking professional support in the field of innovation management. (2)To increase the economic potential among enterprises benefiting from The SME Instrument of H2020 by identifying bottlenecks and indicated solutions with the help of a capable coach. The innovation processes starts with an idea and ends with the innovation result, including leadership, management skills etc. Many EU regions, including Poland seem to lack complex services supporting innovation management. Regions covered by KAM2CentralPoland consortium belongs to more developed part of Poland, even so they still lack of complex services supporting innovation management. There are measures within the structural funds dedicated to the SME sector that support elements of innovation management but the coaching schemes still do not exist. Thus, both services the Key Account Management and the Enhancing the innovation management capacity of SMEs offered under this proposal address the challenges of the H2020 Work Program 2014-2015 Innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises and also meets the requirements of this consultations.
