I4MS 2015: Enhancing digital transformation in manufacturing SMEs
I4MS 2015 will explore the progress achieved by the I4MS initiative and the impact participation has had on SMEs.
To date I4MS has achieved over 80% industrial participation. An initial participation of 80 SMEs has now grown to 150 as momentum continues to build. Success is also evident with SME participation in projects leading to the adaption of new technologies and approaches. I4MS phase two will take this success further through additional projects supported by a budget of approximately EUR 35 Mn.
At I4MS 2015 participating SMEs will present their experiences, results achieved and impact made. They will explain how they have benefited and what the adaption of innovative ICT has meant for their business. European support does not just exist at EU level.
Action at regional level supported through programmes such as Smart Specialisation present the good opportunity to reach out to and involve the diverse landscape of European SMEs. At I4MS 2015 participants will be introduced to a new activity designed for such outreach – digital innovation competence centres – and an outlook towards the next stage of I4MS.
I4MS is a EUR 77 Mn initiative of the 'Factories of the Future' partnership designed to support the adaption of innovative ICT by SMEs. Through seven integrated projects in four key areas, I4MS brings manufacturing SMEs directly into research and innovation projects, introducing them to innovative technologies and supporting the adoption of such technologies.

Max Groenendijk | Laser and Sensors- Experience from industry: APPOLOI4MS_eu
After completing the initial year, I4MS has hosted its first public international event on 18th June in Berlin, in cooperation with the launch of the German manufacturing programme, Autonomik für Industrie 4.0". I4MS has brought together more than 150 professionals from industry and innovation, who have attended to several presentations about what has been achieved by I4MS and further funding opportunities for SMEs and middle size corporates (mid-caps) under the Initiative.
The event signified the importance of SMEs in Europes manufacturing industry and their role in the reindustrialisation process for Europe. At a glance: SMEs are providers of around 45% of manufacturing added value and roughly 59% of employment in the manufacturing sector.

Innovative and digital solutions for circularity and sustainability in textilesCISUFLO
CISUFLO project was presented during the “Workshop on Innovative and digital solutions for circularity and sustainability in textiles” organized by the European Commission DG Growth, last 15th October.
Dr. Jan Vincent Jordan, on behalf of RWTH Aachen, introduced CISUFLO as potential best practices on how digitalisation supports sustainability and on how SMEs can be supported in digitalization (with a focus on RWTH Aachen “Systemic Transition Support Tool”). During the workshop the DG CNECT presented the concept of the Digital Product Passport and DG RTD explained the “Research & Innovation for Sustainable and Circular Textiles”. The EC’s priority on the sustainability and circular economy underlines once again how important it is that CISUFLO is working in this direction to lead the flooring sector in Europe towards the circular economy.

When listening about building new Ventures, Marketplaces ideas are something very frequent. On this session we will discuss reasons why you should stay away from it :P , by sharing real stories and misconceptions around them. If you still insist to go for it however, you will at least get an idea of the important and critical strategies to optimize for success like Product, Business Development & Marketing, Operations :)

#DigitiseEU
2. • Measures that enable all sectors to benefit
from digital innovation:
• For higher value products with "digital inside"
• Increased efficiency of processes
• Adapted and reshaped business models including
relevant services
• These measures benefit from:
• A true Digital Single Market
• World class broadband, cloud and data
infrastructures
• Access to sources of financing
• Coordination of various initiatives - MS,
regional, EU
• Pool resources, avoid fragmentation, support DSM
What is this about?
DIGITISING EUROPEAN INDUSTRY
European Commission proposal

within "working distance"
for any industry in Europe
with a focus on: SMEs, mid-caps, non-tech
How:
"Digital Innovation Hubs" across Europe :
• provide industry with access to technology, expertise, testing,…
based on world-class specialised competence centre
Networking DIH to ensure a one-stop-shop for industry
Public procurement of innovations
Thematic smart specialisation platform
• industrial modernisation (June 2016)
7. Competence Centres vs Innovation Hubs
Competence Centres are the core
of Digital Innovation Hubs
Organised to provide
services to industry
• Access to competence centres
• Development of innovation
ecosystem
• Brokerage
• Access to finance
• Market intelligence
• Training and education

products
• Demonstrate best practices
• Showcase technologies in pilot
factories, fab-labs
8. Who does what?
Regions/MSs
Establish/reinforce competence centres
• Across Europe – specific support for regions without DIH
• Implement relevant activities if needed (incentives, …)
Collaborate with digital innovation hubs of other regions
• to fill gaps and facilitate specialisation and excellence
Commission
Support pan-European networking of Digital Innovation Hubs
• Share best practices, success stories, training
• Develop catalogue of Hubs, competences, etc
Promote use of EU and other funds (ESIF, EFSI)
Industry
Engage with competence centres, help set priorities,..

16. I4MS Future:
Issues for Reflection
2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
Phase 1 – FP7 WP2013
Start-up the I4MS Ecosystem
Phase 2 – H2020 WP 2014/15
Organically grow the I4MS Ecosystem
Phase 3 – H2020 WP 2016/17
Nurture the ecosystem:
Concentrate on EU added value
• How to focus on EU-added valued?
• How to better converge EU-schemes across initiatives?
• How to make the EU models sustainable?
• How to better root EU supported hubs in national and regional infrastructures?
• How to use EU funds to better network national and regional infrastructures?
• How to pool resources from different funding programmes?
• EU: H2020, COSME, ESIF, EFSI, national, regional
• How to bring industry hubs/labs into the structure?
• Do we need branding (e.g. associated to / partner in I4MS)?
Phase 4 – H2020 WP 2018/20
Support further the implementation
of Digitising European Industry
