Improving innovation delivery of policies within 4.0 industry in Europe.

THE INNO INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM TRAVELS TO PORTUGAL FOR ITS LAST FACE-TO-FACE MEETING

On November 16th and 17th, the consortium of the INNO Industry project traveled to Fundaõ to carry out the study visit in Portugal that was planned as part of the exchange of experiences and best practices in the field of Industry 4.0.

Partners were able to bring along half a dozen stakeholders who have been actively involved in the learning activities of the project, which will ultimately help to improve their professional competences and skills gained in the topics addressed by INNO Industry: industry 4.0 and cluster policies.

STUDY VISIT TO THE BUSINESS AND SHARED SERVICES CENTRE OF FUNDAÕ

Fundaõ municipality developed empty buildings to provide office space for innovative industries, along with shared research and staff facilities. Separate business incubation and co-working areas support entrepreneurs. Specialist training, computing lessons in schools and other IT skills promotions ensure that employers can recruit skilled staff locally.

The centre now hosts 14 TICE businesses, including four multinationals, which have created over 500 highly qualified jobs. It has also led to around 70 start-ups and over 200 privately funded innovative projects in its first four years.
