Description

A strong focus on Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) Key Enabling Technologies are among the priority action lines of European industrial policy. Currently, there is a group of six technologies: micro and nano-electronics, nanotechnology, industrial biotechnology, advanced materials, photonics, and advanced manufacturing technologies. They provide the basis for innovation in a range of products across all industrial sectors. They underpin the shi to a greener economy, are instrumental in modernising Europe’s industrial base, and drive the development of entirely new industries. The EU aims to increase the exploitation of KETs and to reverse the decline in KETs-related manufacturing and patents being exploited outside the EU as this will stimulate growth and jobs.
