CIM4.0’s first call for SMEs and Start-Ups has officially ended.
Published on April 19, 2025
Today, we are pleased to report a very important milestone for our Competence Center → the FIRST CIM4.0 CALL FOR SMEs AND INNOVATIVE START-UPs has been completed with the allocation of 100% of the resources
A process that began in December 2019 for which CIM4.0 has distinguished itself through rigor, speed and concreteness. The technical results achieved – extremely positive – are synonymous with a living, dynamic and forward-looking industrial ecosystem supported by methods and tools dedicated to Technology Transfer.
The call for Technology Maturation Projects-Industry 4.0 (PMTI4.0), dedicated to SMEs and Start-Ups, provided a budget that exceeded 1 million euros in total.
The strategic choice of the call
The strategic choice, consistent with the specific mission assigned by MISE to the Competence Center network, was to support research, development and product/process innovation activities with a level of technological maturity closer to the market (TRL>6).
“The function of Competence Centers must be to strategically guide and support Enterprises in the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies, and this must be done promptly, at the speed of light. With the closing of the first call for proposals, we want to send a concrete message of support and proximity to micro, small and medium-sized companies and innovative start-ups.”
– Enrico Pisino, CEO CIM4.0
