design experiment Develop novel products or
services with digital
technologies.
 Bring together actors across
the full value chain.
 Suppliers to assist new users in
customising and applying digital
technologies in their
environment.
 Financial support to third parties
(FSTP) is used for flexibility

6. FSTP: Part K of the General Annexes
& Article 15 of MGA
Proposals shall clearly detail the selection process of additional
users and suppliers for running experiments, and include at least:
 A closed list of the different types of activities
supported
 Persons or categories of persons supported
 Criteria for award of support
 How to calculate the exact amount of support (for
instance 70% of total costs)
 Maximum amount of support for each party (typically
20-100K€ per party).
Retained proposals of the open call will become third parties,
and not beneficiaries of the project!
Max 50% of budget

7. Long-term sustainability of the
marketplace
 Business plan for the one-
stop shop/marketplace
 Attracting investors
 Support business
development of SMEs
 Provide training
opportunities to SMEs
 Business case
 Industrial exploitation strategy

8. Focus in one or more of the
following areas of technologies
I. Integration of CPS and IoT concepts in smart
production environments
II. Robotics systems cost effective at lower lot
sizes
III. HPC Cloud-based modelling, simulation and
analytics services focusing on sustained
service models and real-time support
IV. Digital design for additive Manufacturing
focusing on link between design tools and
production
Large projects (5-8 M€)
Budget
32 M€
NEW

9. Coordination and Support Action
 Single Innovation Portal for newcomers
 Brokering between users and suppliers
 Identifying new ICT technologies that
can benefit from I4MS scheme
 Mapping and matching competences
in and between regions
 Linking up with regional/national
initiatives
 Sharing of best practices
 Levering further investment for SMEs
 Dissemination
Innovation
Multipliers
Budget
1 M€
Close cooperation with EFFRA

10. Expected impact (including metrics
to measure success)
 Exploring new application areas by attracting a significant number
of new users of advanced ICT in manufacturing, in particular SMEs
and the mid-caps.
 More innovative and competitive EU technology suppliers, in
particular SMEs
 More competitive EU service providers strengthening their
presence on local markets.
 Creation of a self-sustainable ecosystem of competence
centers, users and suppliers supported by innovation services
available through a marketplace
 A critical mass of pan-European experiments covering the
whole value chain to increase market share/productivity of EU
companies
