6 How does the Demonstratorium work? The users The Demonstratorium needs to give businesses easy access to test and demonstration facilities to which they would not otherwise have access. Different models for use by companies can contain varying levels of service and interaction with researchers. For example, companies can: - lease a facility for a given period and otherwise manage everything on their own - get help to install and adjust experiments but otherwise manage everything else on their own - enter into a development partnership with researchers Business model Some of the test and demonstration facilities already exist, such as test centres for wind turbine blades, wind turbine components, fuel cells and CLOP testing and characterisation of polymer solar cells, in addition to the Nordic Electric Vehicle Interoperability Center (NEVIC) and SYSLAB. Several have been established with external funding, including the national wind tunnel and Danish Outdoor LED Lighting. The individual test and demonstration facilities are financed through various grants, which is why they have a built-in business model in their set-up. In order to establish the required infrastructure and the small central function that will connect the test and demonstration facilities with each other, significant investment is needed. The business model for this needs to be further developed but will mainly be based on the principle of user fees. Organisation The individual facilities will be run by the DTU departments with the expertise, skills and contacts in the relevant field. A smaller centrally-anchored function will be established to coordinate experiments across the various test and demonstration facilities. This function will have a complete overview of the activities that take place under the auspices of the cleantech Demonstratorium. The function will act as a liaison between the stakeholders involved in the test and demonstration facilities, create visibility and open up for more cooperation opportunities offered by DTU with the cleantech Demonstratorium. This function will ensure that there is a standardised framework for using the facilities for external parties and that there is easy access to all the facilities by the various user groups.
Relationship to the Science Park 7 Working with DTU, Scion DTU, Roskilde University, Region Zealand, Siemens and SEAS-NVE, Roskilde Municipality is planning to create a 50-hectare, top-class European science park for cleantech businesses close to the DTU Risø Campus. We are working on the assumption that high-tech businesses will move where there is a knowledge society to support their business. The expectation is therefore that they will establish themselves in the Science Park if we can offer: • unique opportunities to test and demonstrate their products, processes and services under realistic conditions • easy access to partnerships with cleantech researchers with special skills in their area • good opportunities for the identification and recruitment of a skilled workforce with expertise that matches the needs of companies The cleantech Demonstratorium will be an important and visible focal point for this cleantech knowledge society. In part, because it is a platform for creating synergy between Danish and international companies who have chosen to locate to the Science Park and DTU’s research competencies in cleantech, and also because it will act as a showcase for future cleantech solutions. This will sharpen the international profile and visibility of Danish cleantech and attract foreign talent and businesses. DTU Risø Campus DTU Departments Test & Demo Demonstratorium Science Park Scion DTU Risø Status and next step Legal and business discussions are currently underway with the aim of realising the plans for establishing the Demonstratorium. While this clarification process takes place, the content of the concept will be further developed at DTU under the auspices of the project Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster.
