Introduction to
pilots4u

Pilots4U aims to set up one very visible, easily accessible network of open access pilot and multipurpose demo-infrastructures for the European bio-economy with Europe-wide coverage. As pilot- and demo equipment is very expensive and requires specific expertise, open access infrastructures are the most cost-effective manner to support the deployment of industry-driven innovations in the market. However, there is a lack of awareness of the availability, type of facility and equipment modules these infrastructures offer, which impedes actors from localising relevant facility. The Pilots4U project sets out to tackle these challenges and provide solutions that will support the development of innovations into products.
