More about ATI:

The EU’s industrial policy approach promotes the creation of a competitive European industry. In order to properly support the implementation of policies and initiatives, a systematic monitoring of technological trends and reliable, up-to-date data on advanced technologies is needed. To this end, the Advanced Technologies for Industry (ATI) project has been set up. It provides policymakers, industry representatives and academia with:

• Statistical data on the creation and use of advanced technologies (including information on enabling conditions such as skills, investment or entrepreneurship).
• Analytical reports on technological trends, sectoral insights and products.
• Analyses of policy measures and policy tools related to the uptake of advanced technologies.
• Analyses of technological trends in competing economies such as in the US, China or Japan.
• Access to technology centres and innovation hubs across EU countries.
