Descrizione del progetto
Iniziative «SmartAnythingEverywhere»
Negli scorsi anni, si è verificato un aumento della domanda per i poli dell’innovazione digitale. Vi è inoltre l’esigenza di una maggiore capacità di tali poli per sostenere la diffusione delle cosiddette iniziative «SmartAnythingEverywhere» (SAE/I4MS), pena un potenziale importante svantaggio dell’industria europea. Il progetto BOWI, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di sviluppare una rete di ampliamento dei poli dell’innovazione digitale che sosterrà la cooperazione fra poli nuovi e vecchi. Ciò rafforzerà i proto-poli attraverso esperimenti, faciliterà la collaborazione tra proto-poli e poli maturi, garantirà la sostenibilità della rete BOWI con il proprio modello di finanziamento e creerà comunità di rete con la partecipazione di proto-poli, poli maturi, parti interessate regionali e investitori per sostenere energicamente le tecnologie SAE/I4MS.
Obiettivo
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).
