ACROSS Thematic Area

                                                     “Robotics Technology will become dominant in the
                                                     coming decade. It will influence every aspect of
                                                     work and home. Robotics has the potential to
                                                     transform lives and work practices, raise efficiency
                                                     and safety levels, provide enhanced levels of service
                                                     and create jobs. Its impact will grow over time as

                     KTH
 The QS World University Ranking:
   among top 16 technical universities world-wide and
    among top 8 technical universities in Europe.
 Strong surrounding innovation eco-system:
   incubators, investors, networks of entrepreneurs/team
    members and company contacts.
   E.g., in 2015:
     • out of the 273 new ideas that entered the process, 38 companies
       were formed, 31 deals with customers were closed and 15
       companies were incubated.
   After Silicon Valley, Stockholm produces the highest
    number of start-ups valued at over $1 billion per capita.

Partner Competences:
                      ICENT
 A non-profit institution whose function is to enable and
  accelerate efficient commercialization of new technologies in
  areas critical for the development of Croatian economy.

 We expect that the double helix constellation of ICENT and
  KTH Innovation will form a synergy spurring a much
  needed innovation cycle through ACROSS.

 ICENT is currently coordinating a small H2020 project called
  Feasibility study for Croatian robotics digital innovation hub
  (CROBOHUB).

 A new H2020 project called Logistics for manufacturing SMEs
  (L4MS) has been just accepted – goal: to establish a
  Competence Centre for robotics in logistic applications

Economic impact

 McKinsey Global Institute – economic impact
  prediction by 2025.:
   Advanced robotics - $1.7 - $4.5 trillion annually
   Autonomous and near-autonomous vehicles - $200
    billion to $1.9 trillion annually
 World Economic Forum:
   Next-generation robotics – rolling away from the
    production line and
   Autonomous vehicles
  are among top 10 emerging technologies

          ACROSS Teaming - presentation, Info day SEWP, Zagreb, 16/05/2017   16/32
Economic impact

 European position in robotics
    32% world market of industrial robotics
    63% world market of service robotics
    euRobotics AISBL and EC has formed SPARC, a
     contractual Public-Private partnership
 Croatian positions in robotics
    Industry:
      • > 800 registered high-tech companies in Croatia
      • But, only few of them produce robots (e.g. DOK-ING, Inteco
        Robotics, Rock-NDT, Inetec and HSTEC)
    Research:
      • UNIZG-FER (>40 people), all others together < 20 people
      • UNIZG-FER is the only member of euRobotics AISBL from
        Croatia; and only has EU projects in robotics

     ACROSS Teaming - presentation, Info day SEWP, Zagreb, 16/05/2017
The Concept of the ACROSS CoE
                      ACROSS CoE is an autonomous, well-identified entity,
                     managed in partnership of UNIZG-FER, KTH and ICENT,
which has:
 full autonomy in decision making,
 critical mass of excellent researchers,
 own premises and research infrastructure (will be provided by the Croatian government),
 own, well defined, long-term science and innovation strategy,
and which will:
 be at the forefront of research, development and innovation (RDI) of novel methodologies and advanced
    engineering approaches for autonomous and cooperative robotic systems,
 strive for high quality research in targeted research domains, in line with international standards of
    excellence,
 direct its research focus towards areas that can serve the technological needs as identified by the
    Croatian Smart Specialisation Strategy, and encourage the development and use of new high-tech
    products by businesses,
 be rooted in the Croatian research and innovation landscape, yet aiming for recognized international
    excellence,
 create true impact on Croatian and regional economy through integration or connection with regional
    and national innovation centres and business clusters,
by implementing a comprehensive set of strategic measures.
