Foresight and technology transfer for Manufacturing as a Service (Made in Europe Partnership) (CSA)

Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) is a distributed approach to production in which resources (including data and software) are offered as business-to-business services, allowing manufacturers to access distributed providers to implement their manufacturing processes.

Proposals should develop the strategic foresight listed under point 1 involving the manufacturing community at large, including the Manufacturing Data Spaces and the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs, as well as the Open Innovation Test Beds (OITBs). Identification of strategies and best practices will take into account the evolving geopolitical context.

The activities will also include an effective dissemination campaign, the organisation of events and workshops to facilitate technology transfer and collaboration. A specific focus should be given to best practices to support circularity and sustainability in industrial production through digital technologies in a “Manufacturing as a Service” context.

Only one proposal will be selected for funding.

This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership “Made in Europe”.
