Advanced Factories: Access to Tech Event
Connecting with innovative european solutions for a Smart and Sustainable Manufacturing
Innovating is the cornerstone for improving the way companies manufacture, the way they conceive businesses and the way they deal with what is no longer thought to be valuable.
EIT Manufacturing presents “Access to Tech”, an exclusive event where top innovative scaleups from EIT Manufacturing’s portfolio from all over Europe will propose new solutions to improve processes and products in manufacturing shopfloors. These scaleups will be invited to meet a selected number of Industrial Corporations that are open to learn about innovations already tested in the markets and potentially engage with them to improve their own processes.
This event is co-organized with Acció the Catalan Government’s agency for business competitiveness, and will take place within their “Open Innovation Challenge Manufacturing” event. “Access to Tech” will be held on Thursday, April 20th, at Advanced Factories Expo & Congress in Barcelona (Spain) from 10:00h to 13:30h.
