Today, we are pleased to announce a significant milestone for our Competence Center → the FIRST CIM4.0 CALL FOR INNOVATIVE SMEs AND START-UPS has been completed with the allocation of 100% of the resources.
A process that began in December 2019, during which CIM4.0 distinguished itself for its rigor, speed, and concreteness. The technical results achieved – extremely positive – are synonymous with a vibrant, dynamic industrial ecosystem that looks to the future, supported by methods and tools dedicated to Technology Transfer.
The call for Technological Maturation Projects – Industry 4.0 (PMTI4.0), dedicated to SMEs and Start-Ups, had a financial endowment that exceeded one million euros in total.
The strategic choice of the call
The strategic choice, consistent with the specific mission assigned by the MISE to the network of Competence Centers, was to support research, development, and product/process innovation activities with a level of technological maturity closer to the market (TRL>6).
“The function of the Competence Centers must be to strategically guide and support companies in the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies, and all this must be done promptly, at the speed of light. With the closure of the first call, we want to send a concrete message of support and proximity to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises and innovative start-ups”
– Enrico Pisino, CEO CIM4.0
