As always, the highlights of our Newsletters
are the Inspiration Articles. In this 15th
edition, three Inspirational Articles are
featured. The first one is a Venetian
initiative, which is about a new Regional
Innovative Network "Venetian Green Building
Cluster" that brings together all actors of
the construction industry to accelerate the
green transformation of the entire sector.
The second one comes from the EU Gateway |
Business Avenues scheme about the EU-funded
business missions to South East Asia and
Japan for construction and building
companies. And the third one is an article
on circular economy as an alternative way to
the traditional linear economy.
For added inspiration and boost, I invite
you to take a look at our Technology
Articles, which this time come from
Romania and Greece. The first technological
article is an Anti-microbial and
anti-mosquito treatments for MDF ideally
suited to the tourism and medical-health
sectors developed by a Greek industrial
chemicals and treatments expert. The second
one is an integrated eco-housing solution
developed by a Romanian SME, providing a
sustainable residential housing concept
encompassing innovative solutions in
building design, materials, HVAC and IoT
applications.

perspectives on the latest developments in
the building and construction sector.

IoT4Industry: new call for financial
support
The H2020-INNOSUP-1 project IoT4Industry
just published its second and last call for
financial support to third parties.
IoT4Industry is a 30 months project, with a
budget of 4.96 M €, funded by the
H2020-INNOSUP-1 action of the European
Commission. This project seeks to support EU
growth and competitiveness through the
development of a new cross-sectoral
industrial value chain based on the
integration and use of IoT and related
components (sensors, chips, electronics
component, communication networks, cloud
computing, Big Data, Artificial
Intelligence, digital security, etc.) into
manufacturing tools, machines and robots,
industrial processes, factories environment,
supply chain integration, intra logistics &
logistics 4.0 product life cycle, smart
packaging, etc. It will achieve this goal
through the cross-border collaboration
between SMEs and other RDI actors of the ICT
and advanced manufacturing sectors.
On 1st April the project published its
second call to financially support
innovative projects, led by SMEs, that will
focus on the application of IoT technologies
in the manufacturing environment. More
specifically, it will finance, through
vouchers, small and market-oriented projects
involving SMEs, consisting of the
integration and the use of IoT technologies
(including Big Data, Artificial Intelligence
and Digital Security) into machines, robots,
manufacturing tools, industrial processes,
and factories environments.
The call asks for projects which shall
gather at least one entity representing the
“IoT” side (technology offer) AND another
entity representing the industry side
(demand) which could be a machine or tool
manufacturer or a factory. At least one of
these entities shall be a European SME.
The budget of this second call is 1,515,800
EUR with a maximum funding per project of
120,000 EUR (with a limit of 60,000 EUR per
individual SME).
The deadline is 11 June 2019 |
