The role of MADE4.0
MADE leveraged its European network of Digital Innovation Hubs and innovation community to capitalize on project results and create synergies with other networks, such as DIGITBrain. It facilitated integration into new market opportunities and scaled up experiments through interregional funding. By applying the “Test Before Invest” methodology, it improved testing in safe environments, facilitating technology transfer and reducing risks. Dissemination activities were carried out with DIGITBrain and with the selected experiments.
