Advanced manufacturing for key products (IA) (Made in Europe partnership)

Expected Outcome: Advanced manufacturing technology and machinery becomes available in Europe for the manufacturing of key and high-performance products; Where relevant, production becomes increasingly circular through the reuse of secondary raw materials; and/or innovative advanced materials are incorporated in manufactured products, leading to better performance and quality; Resource efficiency in terms of materials and energy is increased significantly; and Circularity, productivity and competitiveness are increased, and hence resilience of European industry is enhanced. Scope: This topic addresses technologies and machinery for advanced manufacturing, focusing on manufacturing excellence and on increasing circularity, including through the better use of innovative advanced materials and secondary raw materials. The focus is on key manufactured components and products that are competitive and have enhanced performance, and contribute to Europe’s technological leadership in manufacturing, but which are at risk of being lost to Europe or rely on raw materials or parts whose supply is mostly coming from outside Europe. Proposals should develop technologies and machinery to enable the manufacturing of these components with a minimal use of critical raw materials [reference to overall targets] or imported materials. This includes an increased use of secondary raw materials or biobased materials or revalorised components. Where appropriate to enhance performance and quality,…
