Irish Manufacturing Research

Ireland: Eastern and Midland (Ireland)

Overview

We will build out the I4MS program in a practical manner – including training programs, demonstration activities, industrial pilots and practical innovation translation activities.
Fundamentally, the Digital Innovation Hub will be built out to become a One-Stop-Shop for SME access to digital manufacturing technologies and solutions in the space of CPS/IoT with associated training, case studies and access to capability and competence.

Irish Manufacturing Research is part of a select EU network of I4MS – Regional Manufacturing Digital Innovation Hubs that provide a one-stop-shop for manufacturing companies to access all of the supports they need to become ready for the next generation of digital manufacturing.  We provide information and support to manufacturing SMEs from:

Access to key research capacity and skills in Ireland and across Europe
Access to Competence Centres across Europe and Ireland
Access and support in accessing public and private funding
Connectivity to networks of manufacturing companies (SMEs and multinational)
Best known methods and case-studies
Technology roadmaps and frontier technologies
Integration into EU consortia and funding programs
Access to experimental facilities
Connectivity to national funding bodies and authorities
Digital technologies.
