As part of the INTERREG CE project GREENE 4.0, which is dedicated to promoting sustainable innovation in cross-border regions, the third project partner meeting took place in Bergamo at the end of March 2024. The meeting point was the Kilometro Rosso Science and Technology Park.

The two-day event in the impressive Kilometro Rosso science and technology park near Bergamo, Italy, provided a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, discussion of the project results from the last period and strengthened the cooperation between the partners. The partner meeting brought together almost 25 representatives from seven different European countries and nine different organizations. The project members Prof. (FH) DDr. Mario Situm, MBA, Dipl.-Kfm. Karin Steiner and Selina-Maria Schiller, MSc, were particularly pleased that MMag. Peter Wachter, district manager of the Tyrolean Economic Chamber in Kufstein, accompanied the project as an associated partner during the Transnational Peer Review Seminar. 

Open Innovation

The Transnational Peer Review Seminar followed on from the two Open Innovation Workshops that were held in each region. Following the workshops, each partner created regional Open Innovation Maps with the most important innovation actors and technology providers. Three experts from Poland, Italy and Austria, including Peter Wachter, assessed these Open Innovation Maps and provided feedback. “The identification of innovation actors and technology providers in the respective project regions is the basis for the GREENE 4.0 platform, which is designed to support manufacturing SMEs in their green and digital transformation,” said Mario Situm from the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol. ”It also provides an ideal opportunity for technology providers and start-ups to establish contacts in new sectors and countries, thus expanding their market.” An impressive tour of two laboratories in the field of robotics and additive manufacturing rounded off the visit to Kilometro Rosso. 

NEXT STEPS

In the next project steps, the User Acceptance Model will be finalized, which will be used to classify small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their needs, as well as to identify the potential of the green and digital transformation. Solution seekers (manufacturing SMEs) and solution providers (technology providers) will then be added to the platform step by step.
