Descripción del proyecto
Un gran impulso tecnológico para las pequeñas empresas
La digitalización está transformando la forma de hacer negocios, creando nuevas prácticas y generando oportunidades. Por ello, la agilización de la innovación en las pymes, especialmente las que no pertenecen al sector tecnológico, es una de las principales prioridades de Europa. El proyecto DigiFed, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrollará un modelo de negocio para la sostenibilidad de la unión de centros de innovación digital. Su modelo se basa en inversiones colaborativas y en la reducción de los riesgos de la innovación. El proyecto se centrará en los sistemas ciberfísicos e incorporados y hará especial hincapié en la seguridad y la privacidad, la autonomía y la interacción humano-máquina. En general, el objetivo del proyecto es brindar a las pymes el apoyo necesario para introducir las tecnologías digitales en sus productos y servicios. Reunirá a seis centros de innovación digital de diferentes países y se vinculará con otros y redes de centros para crear una oferta de servicios transfronterizos sostenibles de centros de innovación digital en toda la Unión Europea.
Objetivo
DigiFed, part of SAE initiative, is dedicated to supporting EU industries to digitalise their product & services and reaching new markets enabled by Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) & Embedded Systems.
DigiFed gathers twelve partners with expertise in digital technologies and/or innovation management from nine EU countries.
The main aim of DigiFed is to accelerate and promote the digitalisation of European companies by providing significant support mechanisms for individual and groups of SMEs and Midcaps to foster the introduction of digital technologies in their product and service offerings.
DigiFed partnerships are designed to strengthen the European digital ecosystem through the adoption of advanced digital technologies (CPS & embedded systems) and a combination of regional, national and European funding instruments so that SMEs and midcaps can benefit from knowledge sharing regardless of their location. Three main innovation pathways are proposed to EU companies.
· Applications Experiment (AE) with an innovative model of “TWIN AE” involving two cross-border SMEs/midcaps, one of which is of a low digital maturity level”
Two explorative services for DIH will be trialled involving the following co-funding schemes:
· Generic Experiments (GE) are designed to test new collaborations between research centres and a group of SMEs and midcaps as well as evaluate new co-financing mechanisms between European and regional funding to foster European industry digitalization. DigiFed targets to launch 3 GE Communities.
· Digital Challenge (DC) will experiment with new co-funding mechanisms with large European organisations -the Digital Challenge Owners (DCOs). Advanced digital technology SMEs will be selected through an open call to solve the challenge proposed by the DCOs. The purpose of the Digital Challenge is to highlight attractive market needs to be addressed through CPS and embedded systems and for which new solutions are required. DigiFed aims to launch 3 Digital Challenges.
Altogether, DigiFed aims to involve at least 200 EU SMEs and midcaps with different Digital maturity levels and from all markets including sectors with low digital penetration. A minimum of 80 EU companies will receive Cascade Funding support through one of DigiFed’s innovation pathways.
Finally, DigiFed aims to foster interaction between European Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs). The DigiFed consortium already involves six well-established DIHs from different countries and will expand its network through collaboration with other DIHs aiming at fostering cross-border sustainable collaboration and improving the services given by the European DIH network.
