3. Next steps

Our Consortium
!
Experts in EU projects, regional projects, business
support, events organisation that are based across
Europe with wide network to regions, businesses and
people along the value chains
!
!
!
creates synergies to push regional and industrial
development to a new level

Philosophy of the Initiative
Objectives:
• Establish and support concrete co-operation networks
• Pool regional efforts and bring about cooperation
• Identify investment needs
• Support regions
!
The outcome of the activities of RE-CONFIRM are
successful protocols.
!
Well structured matchmaking is central to address
obstacles, connect right actors, involve right mix of regions

RE-CONFIRM positioned within a number of related
initiatives
RE-CONFIRM is ‘action based’ = targets concrete
actions (matchmaking, development of protocols) and
does not act as a purely passive platform.
!
Ensuring synergies of:
1) Monitoring and provision of updated background
information and data;
2) Action-based activities targeted at businesses and
industrial stakeholders, and;
3) Platform-based activities providing networking,
communication and exchanges of relevant
stakeholders.

Smart Factory is one of the priority in Tuscany RIS 3 Strategy!
!!The first step: Mapping Industry 4.0 in Tuscany
Map leading research
institutions and experts
Plan actions
Map companies and SMEs
Explore emerging subfields
and topics of Industry 4.0.
Mobilise experts and partners
Support TT and R&I networks
Implement and monitor S3
specialisation
Prioritise and monitor funding
Benchmark competitors
Place making and regional marketing
Applications

Who are they? How are they connected?
News: analysis how they talk? Wordcloud Industry 4.0 in Tuscany
The outputs: 552 companies identified through web data

• > 12.000 Tuscan research publications classified as connected to Industry 4.0
skills
• 20 topics representative of Industry 4.0 skills automatically identified (topic
modelling)
• 2.000 researchers identified and characterised
• 31 institutions (7 universities and 24 research institutes) characterised by their
specialisation and contribution to the topics
• 20 topics mapped against 55 Industry 4.0 skills identified by the National Plan on
Industry 4.0
• Development of an interactive web-based tool to explore the findings
The outputs:

• What we expected from EU partnership
!
- Build up a network of opportunities/tools/services offered at
European level usefull for SMES
!
- Open network for innovation - Digital cloud service (market
analysis, production optimization)
!
- Joint Economic promotion events (awareness seminar, matching
events useful to promote: interaction among emerging and
traditional clusters, innovation cooperative processes etc.)
!
-Cross-sectorial platforms of digital enablers and traditional
industries to connect supply chains and to facilitate traditional
factories to get in touch with these players
!
- Demonstrators/Pilot project
 

Common objectives in Modernising and Digitising Industry:
❖ Tuscany: ICT Photonics, Smart Factory, Chemicals and Nanotechnologies,
Platform Industry 4.0 and Advanced Manufacturing
❖ Valencia: Quality of Life, Innovative products and customized
environments, and Advanced manufacturing and new industrial
systems
❖ Castilla y León: Advanced Materials, ICT, Biotechnology, Advanced
processes and manufacturing
❖ Hungary: Advanced technologies in the vehicle and other machine
industries, ICT and information services
❖ Catalonia: Transversal Technology Facilitators Industrial Ring 4.0, Stimuli
project and Platform Industry 4.0

Digital transformation is one of the most important business trends:
!
▪ Not single companies, but the whole value chain
▪ SMEs are the key economic players in our regions
▪ Three strategic axes:
➢ Awareness: opportunities from Industry 4.0 and added value from cross-border
cooperation
➢ Platform: creation of digital ecosystems based on an Open Source Platform, accelerating
time-to-market, speed up innovation and minimise risks. SaaS facilitates SMEs’ access to
innovative digital services without having to invest on expensive infrastructures or licences
➢ Projects: promoting tools and approaches that can be effectively integrated within the
SME production
▪ Common projects on an open source platform and reinforce
Cooperation: surveying both the demand and supply side and providing
demonstrational and development services in order to accelerate and
catalyse the process of matchmaking within the European Value Chain.

Support by businesses, academia and civil society:
!
❖ Tuscany: sector-specialised Technological District and Cross-sector District
on Advanced Manufacturing – Industry 4.0 (ppp)
❖ Valencia: network of Technological Institutes and Business Centres
together with other agents of the regional innovation system, in the support
and deployment of the policies for R&D&I and execution of the regional
agenda for industry 4.0. (ppp)
❖ Castilla y León: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Network (ppp, more than
100 entities), a community open to entrepreneurship, talent and innovation
through public-private partnerships, the strengthening of inter-sectoral
relations, the interconnection of its partners to generate new value projects
❖ Hungary: manufacturing-driven and RTDI-driven EU co-funded large
Industry 4.0 adoption projects in Hungary, there has been the opportunity
to assess both public and business & academia interest in the matter
❖ Catalonia: Anella Industrial community, the Automotive Cluster and
Equipment Manufacturing Cluster among others

Activities included in our proposal:
!
▪ Step 1: Mapping and analysis, using innovative methods and research
tools (open data, semantic analysis of webs,…). Feasibility of regional
Digital Innovation Hubs (DHI) and cross-border cooperation. To
identify weaknesses and constraints, to select proper instruments
and approaches in the region involved. New data sets could improve
empirical information used to support policy making. Exchange of
practices and experiences.
▪ Step 2: Joint strategy and road map through seminars, foresight
workshop with relevant European clusters and other stakeholders.
▪ Step 3: Platform - architecture and solution description, possible
pilots identification, validation and verification.

Activities included in our proposal:
!
▪ Step 4: Pilot projects design and implementation: partners will identify
concrete projects to be implemented, as well as it will activate resources
to define cross-sectorial platforms and guidance to other EU policy
makers for the implementation of policies towards the concept of
industries 4.0. Scaling up and extension to other sectors, regions, etc.
▪ Step 5: Communication - this is an ongoing support activity of the project
implementation. It covers compulsory elements, the recruitment of SMEs
participating, demonstrational events and development planning.
Communication plays an integral role along with the professional
activities in addressing and reaching the target group.
▪ Step 6: Project Management - Standard support activity for project
implementation, including organizational tasks, administration, financing,
procurement management, HR and related activities.
