„Boosting Resilience In five industrial ecosystems through adoption and Deployment of advanced technoloGiEs among SMEs“
9 European partners from 5 industrial ecosystems join forces to support SMEs in their transition towards industry 5.0!
The BRIDGESMEs project aims to assist European SMEs in five industrial ecosystems (Mobility, Transport & Automotive; Aerospace & Defence; Electronics; Cultural & Creative Industries; Tourism) in re-thinking their business models and operations to become more resilient, sustainable, and human-centric.
The project will facilitate alliances between manufacturing SMEs and tech-savvy SMEs & start-ups, as well as accelerate the deployment of innovative solutions in the market and enhance clusters‘ cooperation to support SMEs across value chains.
The consortium will conduct an assessment of the current status of the Five Industrial Ecosystems, identify needs, disruptions, challenges, and opportunities related to technology adoption and transition towards Industry 5.0, and involve and select manufacturing SMEs, demanding advanced technologies in their production lines, and tech-savvy SMEs through open calls, hackathons, and matchmaking events.

At the kick-off, the partners discussed the initial project activities, the progress and achievements since the BRIDGESMEs‘ launch in December last year, as well as the coordination of the next steps in the coming months.

The consortium partners are:
During my internship at the SILICON ALPS Cluster in 2019, I had the opportunity to gain experience in the cluster for the first time.
With an academic background in international management and entrepreneurship and several professional excursions into different industries and the start-up world, my journey led me back to the cluster. In my previous position as a project manager for marketing and project concept development, I was able to gain valuable knowledge.
This experience, combined with the insights from my internship and a comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem, helps me to join the SILICON ALPS team as Project Manager for Innovation and Technology.
