� POLICY � beyond . It aims to inform future policy developments and investments , remove informational barriers for investors , and support front-runners through flexible permitting rules . The goal is to accelerate the development and uptake of innovations to make industry more competitive and greener . INCITE will cover all industrial sectors under the IED 2.0 but will focus work during its first years of operation on energyintensive industries .
• Key activities : INCITE will systematically scan the horizon , gathering information on innovative techniques worldwide . If they are deemed ready for use at an industrial scale , are cost-effective and provide significant environmental benefits , these techniques could be incorporated in the Sevilla Process for the development of environmental norms . For this purpose , INCITE will establish a global and publicly available online platform where a wide range of stakeholders ( EUfunded project leaders , industry , technology providers , research and technology organisations ) will be able to submit and access information . This platform will also enable demonstration plants and first-of-a-kind industrial installations to be mapped . INCITE will ensure that the information is complete and accurate and will analyse the degree of maturity and environmental performance of innovative techniques . Sectoral scoreboards showing the degree of advancement of industry sectors towards
the EU objectives of e . g . decarbonisation or circular economy will be developed to help prioritise the revision of BREFs and define the work programme of the Sevilla Process .
• Outputs : INCITE will organise sectoral workshops and site visits to front-runner industrial installations to facilitate exchange between stakeholders on innovative techniques and learn from experts on the maturity and environmental benefits of the technologies developed . INCITE will publish recommendations in JRC Technical Reports and curate the information to support Member States when permitting installations using innovative techniques and to help direct funding towards promising technologies .
