KYKLOS4.0 is a 48-month project delivered by 29 organisations across Europe. It aims at providing an ecosystem that creates and supports the configurations, methodologies, production techniques, decisions and actions at all different levels and stages of the equipment manufacturing value chain.
It aims to deliver an increased production efficiency, reduce waste, boost competitiveness and lower costs for European manufacturers, particularly for SMEs.
The KYKLOS4.0 – Open Call #1 invites SME-led consortia of up to three entities to submit project proposals for the development of innovative solutions to improve digital manufacturing processes.
Proposed solutions – to be delivered through experiments – should demonstrate a high innovation potential and be ready to explore commercialisation opportunities by the end of the experiment period. As part of the experiment, the solution must be validated and demonstrated in the pilot location, which should be provided by one of the applicant’s consortium partners. Each selected project will be funded with up to €150.000, in the case of a consortium of three entities.
