ACROSS Thematic Area

Croatian S3

Economical

Impact

“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

will the interaction between robots and people.”

Cited from: Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for

Robotics in Europe 2014-2020

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.

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

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

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

Economic impact


ACROSS CoE – the concept and S&I strategy


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.


Strategic measures: Objective 1:

• Inspiring environment • Necessary critical mass of researchers • Necessary infrastructure • Integration of strong theoretical

research in practical settings

Objective 2: • Establishment of a large

collaboration network • Integration in the ERA • Increased industrial connectivity

Objective 3: • Long-term sustainability • IPR Protection • Promotion of knowledge-based
