Technology
demonstrated in
relevant
environment
System Integration and System Technology Laboratory
Demonstration;
Representative model or prototype system at a scale relevant
to full scale, is tested in a relevant environment, such as a
test facility capable of producing simulated waves/currents
and other operational conditions, while monitoring device
response and performance.
7
System
prototype
demonstration in
operational
environment
Open Water System Testing and Demonstration;
Testing may be initially performed in water at a relatively
benign location, with the expectation that testing then be
performed in a fully exposed, open water environment, where
representative operating environments can be experienced.
8
System
complete and
qualified
Open Water System Operation;
The prototype in its final form (at or near full scale) is to be
tested, and qualified in an open water environment under all
expected operating conditions to demonstrate readiness for
commercial deployment in a demonstration project.
9
Actual system
proven in
operational
environment
Commercial Scale Production / Operation;
Final commercial unit, economic deployment when the
technology is ready for mass production and has proven to
operate as designed for several years.

•
EEN supports applicants of the SME Instrument.
EEN offers Key Account Management (KAM)
services to SME Instrument beneficiaries.
EEN arranges coaches for SME Instrument
beneficiaries.
EENs role in Horizon 2020
and SME Instrument
SME Instrument – more than money
•
•
•
•
Business innovation coaching increases the impact
of the SME grant.
Beneficiaries of the SME Instrument Phase I can
receive 7 days of KAM service plus 3 days of
dedicated coaching.
Beneficiaries of the SME Instrument Phase II can
receive 7 days of KAM service plus 12 days of
dedicated coaching.
KAM service and coaching are included in the SME
benefits. Coaches and KAMs are payed by H2020.
Three types of coaching
•
•
•
Business development: focused on the
identification and evaluation of business
opportunities, defining business segments and
developing an effective market mix.
Organization: aimed at mobilizing the resources of
the SME to ensure efficiency and performance of
the SME's organization.
Cooperation: supporting SMEs in planning and
implementing innovation partnerships and project
consortia.
Why is this included in SME Instrument?
“A coaching and mentoring service aiming at enhancing the
innovation management capacity of participants is offered to
all SMEs benefiting from phase 1 and phase 2 support under
the SME instrument. It is expected to increase the return on
investment in innovation activities. The coaching service will
be delivered in cooperation with the Enterprise Europe
Network, which will act as a broker between SME
participants and coaches selected from a Europe-wide
coaching pool.”
How it's done in practice
•
•
•
First company meeting
After notification, the KAM will contact the SME for
an introductory meeting, subsequent assessment
of coaching needs and development of an action
plan.
Finding a coach The KAM at EEN matches the
needs of the SME with a database of coaches, and
suggests suitable coaches to the SME.
Final assessment The KAM will follow and
support the coaching process. After the project, a
final assessment will be made of the coaches'
impact. The KAM will assist in planning the next
step for the SME.
FAQ
•
•
•
Is coaching compulsory?
No. It's an additional service offered by the EU to
beneficiaries of the SME Instrument.
Who chooses the coach? The KAM at EEN
matches the needs of the SME with a database of
coaches. The SME always has the final word in
choosing the coach.
Can we use our own consultants? The database
of coaches is currently underpopulated. EEN will
gratefully consider suggestions of new coaches.

GasBox solves the
problem by converting
low-grade methane
gas into both electricity
and

Landfill sites with low
methane content
typically have one
option: flaring.
