Preparing for scale: industrial readiness and infrastructure access

APROVALS Webinar Series – Public Session

This is the first session of the APROVALS public webinar series, a programme of collective learning events open to companies participating in the project and to the broader industrial ecosystem.

APROVALS webinars are designed to go beyond individual sandbox sessions: they create a shared space where companies can compare experiences, discuss cross-cutting challenges, and engage with external experts on the topics that matter most to scaling innovative technologies.

Session #1 – Preparing for scale: industrial readiness and infrastructure access

One of the most strategic — and most frequently asked — questions among APROVALS participants: how do you know when you are ready to move from pilot to industrial scale?

This session will explore:

• The key signals and criteria that indicate readiness for industrialisation
• Common bottlenecks companies face when scaling from lab or pilot to full production
• Frameworks and options available to navigate this transition in a structured way

We’ll discuss with:
