Following the directives of the Industry 4.0 Plan (in Italy «Piano Impresa 4.0») launched by the Italian government in 2016, CNA Emilia Romagna has founded its Digital Innovation Hub, CNA HUB 4.0, with the aim to support companies in the passage to the new production model of Industry 4.0, through consultancy and qualified services.
Coherently with the National Plan and the Smart Specialization Strategy RIS3 of Emilia Romagna, aimed at building an increasingly dynamic region, competitive and able to generate employment growth by improving the efficiency of its structures and its knowledge systems, CNA Hub 4.0 keeps a strong connection between SMEs and the local key actors (research laboratories, companies, Emilia Romagna Region, innovation centers, Clust-ER, etc.), facilitating the development of projects of technology and organization transformation on the themes of Industry 4.0 for the SMEs of all sectors.
Together with all the other stakeholders, CNA Emilia Romagna participates in the meetings organized by the Emilia Romagna Region for the development of the Smart Specialization Strategy RIS3 in the most important areas (mechatronics and motors, agro-food, building and construction, energy and sustainability, health and well-being, innovation in services and cultural and creative industries) for the definition of calls and funds in favor of SMEs.
