Description du projet
Les initiatives «SmartAnythingEverywhere»
Ces dernières années, la demande en pôles d’innovation numérique s’est accrue. Par ailleurs, ces pôles d’innovation sont eux-mêmes de plus en plus demandeurs de nouvelles technologies numériques afin d’accroître leur capacité à soutenir l’adoption des initiatives dites «SmartAnythingEverywhere» (SAE/I4MS), faute de quoi l’industrie européenne pourrait se trouver fortement désavantagée. Le projet BOWI, financé par l’UE, s’est donc fixé pour objectif de développer un réseau extensible de pôles d’innovation numérique qui soutiendra la coopération entre les pôles déjà existants et les nouveaux venus. Afin d’apporter un soutien énergique aux technologies SAE/I4MS, il renforcera les proto-hubs par des expériences, facilitera la collaboration entre les proto-hubs et les hubs matures, assurera la durabilité du réseau BOWI grâce à son modèle de financement et créera une communauté de réseaux avec la participation des proto-hubs, des hubs matures, des acteurs régionaux et des investisseurs.
Objectif
BOWI project addresses the challenge of limited capacities among DIHs to support the uptake of SAE/I4MS technologies during the last 7 years in the European industry at large. The overall aim of the project is to create a DIH widening network that supports the collaboration of new DIHs (proto-hubs) in regions where SAE and I4MS technologies are underrepresented and well-established DIHs that are highly experienced in these technologies (mature hubs). BOWI takes the first step towards creating a fully sustainable post-project network by:
1. Strengthening proto-hubs by carrying out actual experiments and facilitating the collaboration between proto-hubs and mature hubs;
2. Ensuring sustainability of BOWI network by developing a blended financing accelerator and membership model;
3. Creating the BOWI community, initiating the participation of proto-hubs, mature hubs, regional stakeholders, and investors.
The mechanism will be first tested by supporting 6 pioneer proto-hubs (pioneer stage), which will be later extended to 9 proto-hubs in the second full-fledged strengthening stage, allowing new members of the EU DIH community to participate, including the proto-hubs and mature hubs that are currently not part of the consortium. The post-project BOWI network business model is to be explored, including service and funding needs. To ensure practical experience, all 15 proto-hubs will be supported to conduct 60 (15x4) SAE/I4MS uptake experiments with SMEs in total. For this purpose, an extensive FSTP approach will be used.
The consortium includes experienced partners that participate intensively in the SAE/I4MS strategies (Civitta, FBA, VTT, and RWTH). They are complemented by 6 proto-hubs from various countries that act as pioneer hubs to test and validate approaches (TIT, LITC, UWB, KTP, NTNU, ICT).
