PRODUTECH DIH

PRODUTECH DIH results from the consolidation of 2 DIH initiatives, PRODUTECH DIH PLATFORM and iMan Norte Hub, operating since 2017, when the EC catalogue was launched. With the mission to support digital transformation of the Manufacturing Industry, PRODUTECH DIH PLATFORM had on its genesis the function already assumed by PRODUTECH and its members, a national coverage (Portugal) and a comprehensive focus on Production Technologies and Manufacturing Industry, while iMan Norte Hub having on its genesis BeInCPPS EU project, had a regional coverage (Norte Region Portugal) and a focus on robotics and cyber-physical production systems.

The PRODUTECH DIH has a comprehensive national coverage encompassing the regional dimensions and the relevant stakeholders, and notably comprising Competence Centers and Labs, R&D organizations, Sectoral technology centers, Industry Associations, Production Technology Providers, leading users from the manufacturing industry, SMEs, Start-ups, Education/Training Centers and Incubators/Science parks and civic societies, and the articulation with National and Regional Authorities, Venture Capital organizations and public agencies.

PRODUTECH DIH being the consolidation of both DIH initiatives is coordinated by PRODUTECH and integrates several Competence Centers, among which several are promoting data driven services, experimentation and collaborations and notably the following partners:

CCG a private, non-profit research, development and consultancy association belonging to the Portuguese Research and Innovation Non-Business Entities System and recognized as a Technological Interface Center, in computing graphics, information technologies, communication and electronics domain.
