SmartAgri is a joint effort by Agroväst, Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and Science Park Skövde with the aim to accelerate the digitalisation of the agricultural sector in West Sweden. 

The primary target group is small and medium-sized tech-companies developing new smart solutions for the agrifood sector.

SmartAgri provides services within the following areas:

Seminars, study-visits and workshops to build networks, as well as create awareness and disseminate knowledge and best-practises. Eg the seminar series "The digitized animal".
Businessconcept development and evaluation based on consumer needs and market intelligence
Knowlegde support in choosing the adequate technology for a specific solution
Mediate contacts and facilitate workshops to establish new cooporations needed for idea-, concept-  and product development.
Access to finance and funding by identifying funding opportunities, making projects and companies "investment ready", applications writing and arrangement of the event AgriVenture Sweden. 
Provide access to relevant test and demonstration facilities at universitites, institutes, natural resource schools, farmers etc

Agroväst is the coordinator of SmartAgri. Agroväst is a non-profit cluster managemant organisation for agriculture in West Sweden, working as a project arena and facilitator for collaborations between research and the farming sector. Agroväst participates as DIH in the Scandinavian cluster of the Horizon 2020 SmartAgriHubs project.

RISE is an independant, state-owned research institute, with 2800 employees. RISE offers expertise and testbeds and demonstrations environments for future-proof technologies, products and services within agrifood and several other sectors.

Science Park Skövde is a venue for people, companies and businesses with a focus on development, innovation and digitalization. The main goal is startups with international growth potential and innovative knowledge-based growth companies in the field of IT and engineering with a special focus in software development, game developers, fintech and industrial digitization.

Together the operational SmartAgri-teams provides expertise within IT and engineering, agriculture,  business development and funding.  Digital technologies.

First Time Right, One Piece Flow is the mission of SWF with Welding Automation. The robotic welding process must be automated from A-Z, where the start is the 3D-model and the end is the finished product including certificates. In this Innovation Hub several companies work together to innovate and automate the complete robotic welding process. Where brand independency is a very important issue. The vision of the producing industry is here very important and market development is stimulated in this process. Since 2014 we have been very successful in our approach. Digital technologies.

More than any other technological development before it, digital technology is shaping and transforming our society, economy and industry. For many companies, digitising their businesses has therefore become a number one priority. With Dresden combining strong research with an even stronger industry landscape, the hub offers a perfect combination of knowledge and skills. The Dresden Hub is pursuing a smart systems strategy, aiming at ‘enabling IoT’, and focusing on combining hardware, software and connectivity as the bases for our digital future. It will provide end-to-end IoT solutions which can be developed quickly and deployed by a wide range of different users. The Dresden hub is working with a number of skilled partners from academia and the industrial sector, innovative IT companies, creative start-ups and established networks. Based at the heart of the city, the hub offers a dynamic digital ecosystem. Whether it is micro-electronics and sensor technology – all areas in which Dresden has been able to leverage considerable investment, synergies and expertise – the fast-growing software sector, big data, high-performance computing or high-speed mobile phone connections, Dresden has the skills needed to supply all business sectors with the smart equipment they need in the digital age and the Internet of Things. There are ‘trails’ that help interested parties obtain an overview of the wide variety of products and services provided by all the stakeholders involved and that provide information on the hub’s academic partners including TU Chemnitz, TU Dresden, HTW Dresden, the ENAS, IPMS and IWU Fraunhofer institutes, as well as the hub’s business partners including Infineon, Globalfoundries, SAP, T-Systems MMS, iSAX, N+P und many others.

The Smart manufacturing DIH serves manufacturing industries in digitalization and co-creation. The focus is on boosting renewal and innovations in Finnish machine and manufacturing sectors incl. microelectronics. Examples of activities are e.g. cutting edge research services with access to European networks; co-creation and ecosystem building for companies; testing and piloting of solutions for SME`s; small series fabrication for microelectronics. Services are offered by key partners SMACC (Smart Machines and Manufacturing Competence Centre), Micronova and DIMECC (Digital, Internet, Materials & Engineering Co-Creation). However, the ecosystem is open and new partners are joining. Digital technologies.

The Smart Industry Hub South is a non-profit collaboration between economic development agencies, branch organizations and knowledge institutes in the south of the Netherlands. Through this cooperation all parties active in the field of Smart industry coordinate their activities and can act locally where needed, regionally if possible and connect nationally. As one Hub we communicate efficiently towards companies, who can find easier access to initiatives, shared facilities and fieldlabs. We bring together existing initiatives and organize new events together. 

Focus themes: smart manufacturing and smart maintenance/services

Aim: to extend the reach of Smart Industry projects, fieldlabs and facilities in the South of the Netherlands (Noord-Brabant and Limburg). More companies in manufacturing and maintenance that start digitizing their production processes, products of services. 

Activities towards the digitalisation of SMEs: We act as one network, so that SMEs with questions get the right information and get refered to the right expertise. We try to move SMEs from inspire, to experiment and then implement. We start with inspiring and informing SMEs about the possibilities of digitization by organizing large scale events. Interested companies can go a setp further and really experiment with new techniques. These SMEs we refer to fieldlabs and knowledge institutes. There are financial incentives available at this stage. Then we hope companies arrive at the last stage of implementation. Digital technologies.

The vision of the SmartIC hub is to ensure that Estonian manufacturing SMEs, big or small, can fully benefit in innovations in the field of ICT and robotics and thus improve its business and production processes and adapt its business models to the digital change to be globally competitive. Smartic is establishing a new digital research infrastructure. Smart industry (Industry 4.0) is a field that includes R&D activities related to distributed infrastructure at Tallinn University of Technology and Estonian University of Life Sciences in mechanical and industrial engineering, automation, mechatronics, materials science and engineering, and ICT. A new R&D virtual unit Smart Industry Centre (SmartIC) was established to enhance significantly the field of smart industry research, cross-usage of research infrastructures in Estonia (universities and partners), as well as internationally (R&D cooperation projects, applied research with international companies, e.g. in sectors such as aerospace, automotive industry, ship-building, and other industries) through co-operation, marketing and jointly defined services. Composing of the Centre was motivated from the current state of Estonian economy and industry – in addition to extensive low-priced and low-skilled outsourcing is more and more needed to develop value adding high-tech production. Estonia has not any longer advantage of a low-cost industrial country. To cope with this, also universities should show a clear direction and become more capable partner in R&D to the industry in modernizing of technology and in preparing industry's top professionals.
