Project description
Innovative network for European digital competitiveness
European industries must innovate and adopt novel technologies and strategies to enhance their safety, efficiency, and global competitiveness in the realms of digitalisation and the Internet of Things. The EU-funded FED4SAE project aims to stimulate innovation, competitiveness, and digitalisation within European industries. To achieve this goal, the project aims to reinforce cyber-physical systems and embedded systems. Additionally, it will establish a vital network of digital innovation hubs across Europe, providing support to innovators in the development and expansion of new digital products and services. Lastly, the project will collaborate with innovators, investors, and stakeholders to create funding opportunities that facilitate the growth of the network.
Objective
"The overall ambition of the FED4SAE innovation action (IA) is to boost and sustain the digitization of the European industry by strengthening competitiveness in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and embedded system markets. In alignment with the ""Smart Anything Everywhere"" initiative goals, FED4SAE will:
- Create a pan-European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) by leveraging existing regional ecosystems across full value chains and a range of competencies. DIHs will enable both tech and non-tech innovative Third parties (Startups SMEs, Midcaps) from any sector to build new products and services with “digital inside”.
- Act as a European added-value one-stop-shop to facilitate innovators-suppliers cross-border partnerships which will accelerate innovation in products and processes of European Third parties by providing technical, industrial and innovation management expertise. This will lead to quantifiable increases in market shares, productivity, industrial capacities of the Third parties, and a broader adoption of CPS and embedded systems solutions.
- Link innovators to investors associated to DIHs to reach out to further funding opportunities and enable the next steps of the Third parties’ developments after completing their application experiments (AEs).
- Ensure the self-sustainability of the DIHs pan-European network by developing cooperation with regional organizations and key stakeholders engaging public and or private investment to fund FED4SAE network activities.
FED4SAE is built upon the key learnings obtained in the EuroCPS, Gateone-project, CPSE Labs IAs. FED4SAE will leverage the best practices related to Third party engagement, submission, evaluation and selection of AEs. FED4SAE will give birth to a competitive ecosystem where European Startups, SMEs and Midcaps will thrive as they access to leading technology sources, competencies and industrial platforms and also to well-connected business infrastructures and existing regional innovation hubs.
