UAVs are an emerging market (valued at USD 18.14 Billion in 2017, with a CAGR of 14%). It is led mainly by SMEs which are not structured well enough and lack the appropriate support to fully benefit from international opportunities. The objective of PRESTIGIOUS is to intensify cluster collaboration in Europe in the field of UAVs and to contribute to establish a European Strategic Cluster Partnership (ESCP) on UAVs based on a joint internationalisation strategy, in order to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs in Europe. PRESTIGIOUS will work closely with business networks and European initiatives to provide SMEs with dedicated and tailored support related to internationalisation. PRESTIGIOUS will target two of the most advanced market segments with strong growth potential for European SMEs: Inspection and Security, looking for each one at both VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) and BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) applications. The project will focus on four non-European countries (Chile, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Canada), selected to meet the needs and service offer of European SMEs. Bringing together four European clusters in a highly complementary and cross-sectorial consortium, PRESTIGIOUS will implement four main actions. First, the UAV value chain will be assessed in Europe and in the targeted non-EU countries to identify the strengths of European SMEs. Second, the consortium will organise three fact-finding missions towards non-European countries to establish cluster-to-cluster contacts and identify stakeholders / potential end-users outside Europe. Third, individual support will be provided to SMEs in Europe and training seminars will be organised to transfer the intelligence gathered. Finally, the consortium will prepare a joint internationalisation strategy and implementation roadmap to establish an ESCP on UAVs. Through these actions, PRESTIGIOUS will support at least 100 SMEs working on UAVs in Europe.
