TechMOlogy creates the preconditions for increasing the use of Industry 4.0 key enabling technologies (KETs) in companies, especially small ones, operating in the mobility value chain.
New models of research-business collaboration will be developed and tested based on the principles of open innovation, public-private co-investment and sharing of research structures in the programme area. By facilitating accessibility to KETs and supporting SMEs in the development of new products and services based on them, it will be supported the transformation process towards Industry 4.0 of those companies with very high quality artisan know-how at risk of disappearance, which represent one of the main assets of the cross-border economy.
The focus of the project on the mobility industries is due to their strategic weight in terms of number of employees / companies, high value-added niche work, available professional skills. Being technology-intensive sectors, a greater ability to align business models with those of smart manufacturing by including KETs will generate an improvement in the competitive positioning of the entire area, qualifying the digital skills of the workforce and promoting investments in R&I.

The Labs.4.SMEs project aimed to enhance the cooperation between SMEs and Innovation Labs to strengthen, speed up and facilitate the innovation process in companies, regardless of their size.
The project, coordinated by Ecipa, mapped the Innovation Labs in the program area (Italia-Austria) with a description of the Labs, the available tools and the services provided. Then created an online platform as a virtual meeting place for the interaction and mathing of demand and supply between Labs and businesses. Under the sections EXPLORE and COLLABORATE there are information about services provided by the Labs, stories of successful projects and competences/expertise required.
In order to identify a transferable model for cooperation (the “CO-MOD”) between companies and Labs for future projects, the partnership carried out 21 pilot projects between Labs and companies to accelerate digital innovation.
During the project an awareness campaign has been implemented in the program area by the partnreship.
