Overview

SILESIA SMART SYSTEMS (previously Slaskie Centrum Kompetencji Przemysłu 4.0 - Silesian Competence Centre of Industry 4.0) -  platform for cooperation between business support organizations, scientific units and universities, focusing on supporting industrial enterprises in the processes of digital transformation. From 2018 we operated under the name of Silesian Competence Centre of Industry 4.0, which was a pilot phase of our activity. We collected feedback from the market, with special emphasis on SMEs and we decided to expand our initiative and invite further Partners, to cover the areas of support services we had not been able to cover within the two-member consortium. This led us to Silesia Smart Systems initiative, coordinated by Katowice Special Economic Zone. Main areas of specialization: •Automation and robotics (Computer Integrated Manufacturing, AI and machine learning), •Cyber security, •Additive technologies and new materials for 3D printing, •One-stop-shop - horizontal „soft measures”, including training and consulting, which prepare companies for the digital transformation process.   We support industrial companies, which want to undergo the digital transformation, involving the above mentioned technologies, or consider changes to their business model or implementation of smart products involving digital technologies. SILESIA SMART SYSTEMS is now a consortium of complementary entities, cooperating with each other, using the synergy of influence, experience and competence. The consortium includes: 1.Katowicka Specjalna Strefa Ekonomiczna SA (lider) 2.Agencja Rozwoju Regionalnego SA Bielsko-Biała 3.Górnośląska Agencja Przedsiębiorczości i Rozwoju Sp. z o.o 4.FundingBox Accelerator Sp. z o.o. 5.Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz - Instytut Technik Innowacyjnych EMAG 6.Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz - Instytut Spawalnictwa 7.Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz - Instytut Metali Nieżelaznych, 8.Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz - Instytut Metalurgii Żelaza 9.Politechnika Śląska Silesia Smart Systems provides the digital transformation process to SMEs and large enterprises within Silesian Voivodeship and neighbouring regions.
