I4MS Networking Event

A wide range of European projects working on digital transformation under I4MS initiative have developed their own platforms or marketplaces, offering solutions for companies to improve their production processes, products or business models with advanced technologies. 

Considering that the new I4MS topics will continue supporting the manufacturing industry in Europe, is important to make all the tools and services available. This will ensure that SMEs can access much needed resources either through other open calls or for purchasing them through the marketplaces. 

DIHs and EDIHs play an important role here as facilitators, disseminators and users of these solutions; helping SMEs to select the appropriate tools or services for their digital transformation needs. 

The meeting hopes to identify common challenges and learn from the current Innovation Actions to leverage the impact of I4MS in the next years. Also, we will analyse how future projects can benefit from the work that has been already done connecting the ecosystem, supporting companies in new innovation-experiments, re-use existing marketplaces, methodologies and tools. 

At the end of the session all participants will have 45 minutes for networking and connecting with the other participants.
