Within CLEANHYPRO, PNO Innovation Italy contributes to shaping and validating the Single Entry Point (SEP) while ensuring that technical and non-technical services are aligned with real market needs. This work strengthens the Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) by making its service offering relevant, accessible, and ready for deployment through democases and open calls.

PNO Innovation Italy supported both the Preliminary (D2.1) and Final Market Analysis (D2.2), positioning CLEANHYPRO within the European OITB landscape and validating market assumptions through direct engagement with electrolyser manufacturers, suppliers, and technology developers. The results confirmed key challenges related to scale-up, testing and validation, certification, and access to investment - particularly for SMEs.

A central focus of PNO’s contribution is the structuring of the Single Entry Point, designed as a clear and integrated interface connecting stakeholders to pilot lines and complementary services such as certification, market analysis, and exploitation support.

In the next phase, PNO Innovation Italy will strengthen CLEANHYPRO’s business and exploitation dimension by supporting business planning, funding scouting, and investor engagement - ensuring the long-term sustainability of the SEP and facilitating the transition from validated technologies to market-ready solutions.
