MIDIH is a 36-month, €8.5M project coordinated by EIT Digital to establish a network of digital innovation hubs across Europe to support manufacturers, especially SMEs, in their adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies. The project aims to provide open digital platforms, technological and business services, and skills training to help European manufacturers digitize their operations and remain competitive globally. MIDIH will launch two open calls offering up to €60K in funding per project for experiments utilizing its reference architecture and involving smart factory, product, and supply chain scenarios. The first call will run from March-June 2018 with funding decisions in July 2018.

3. Why MIDIH ?

4. MIDIH
a) EU Manufacturing Industry FIRST
b) Industry 4.0 is the voice of Manufacturing
c) All EU (and not only) Countries have an
Industry 4.0 Strategic Plan

5. Vision
By 2023, Europe will set the reference for the Industry 4.0 market:
European CPS/IOT Open Digital Platforms providers will be able to flexibly and
dynamically connect the Real World with digital Enterprise Systems through common
open standards;
European ICT SMEs will be growing fast through leadership in data-driven smart
Industry 4.0 services;
European Manufacturing SMEs will successfully compete globally with innovative
products and services, digitised Industry 4.0 processes and innovative business models

6. The Industrie 4.0 transition (revolution)

7. National & Regional Initiatives

8. MIDIH
d) Digitising European Industries (DEI)
e) Open Digital Platforms for implementing
Digital Transformation in Manufacturing
f) Several Networks of DIHs for SMEs

9. The DEI Communication (April 2016)
The purpose of this Communication is to reinforce
the EU's competitiveness in digital technologies
and to ensure that every industry in Europe, in
whichever sector, wherever situated, and no
matter of what size can fully benefit from digital
innovations.
Facilitated by a dynamic framework for coordination
and experience sharing between public and private
initiatives at EU, national and regional level, the
proposed actions are expected to mobilise close to
50 B€ of public and private investment in the next 5
years, explore and adapt when needed the
legislative framework and reinforce coordination of
efforts on skills and quality jobs in the digital age.

MIDIH - Manufacturing Industry Digital Innovation Hubs
• Call FoF 12 - 2017
• Duration: 36 months
• Coordinator: EIT Digital
• Budget: 8,524,832.50 Euro
• Funding: 7,999,157.50 Euro
• Funding for Third Parties: 1,920,000 Euro

15. MIDIH Strategic Objectives
• MIDIH is implementing the ICT side of the I4.0 Digital Transformation coin
• MIDIH support the Digitization of European Industry by making available to developers,
corporates, SMEs and startups:
• technological services including access to CPS/IoT platform, support to
customization and project design
• business services: incubation, business acceleration, demand-offer matchmaking
and brokerage, access to market, access to finance
• skill building services: serious and role games, participative lessons and webinars,
virtual experiments in physical teaching factories, professional courses for industry
professionals and executives

16. MIDIH Strategic Objectives
• MIDIH aim at keeping ICT innovators as independent as possible from large
manufacturers’ private ecosystems, offering them access to technology,
knowledge, market services in a PPP protected and trusted environment, really
open-to-all and not dominated by any proprietary technology.
• MIDIH is addressing the Europe's competitiveness in manufacturing, in a threefold
way:
• The network of CCs is founded on technological CPS/IOT smart specialisations;
• pan-EU existing DIHs are providing the necessary services to SMEs;
• teaching factories offer the open experimental facility necessary to test and validate new
solutions.
