Project description
Helping SMEs join the CPS revolution
An increasing number of interacting systems with strong connectivity are being used in both society and industry as computational and physical systems becomes mainstream. This confluence of the physical and the computational worlds has resulted in the so-called cyber-physical systems (CPS). The EU-funded HUBCAP project will provide a one-stop-shop to assist European SMEs in joining the CPS revolution. It will build on digital innovation hubs (DIHs) in seven European countries by creating a growing and sustainable European network offering SMEs opportunities to undertake experiments, seek investment, access expertise and training and form new business links. The aim of the project is to lower barriers for SMEs to realise the potential of growing autonomy in CPS by accessing advanced model-based design (MBD) technology, providing training and guidance.
Objective
HUBCAP will provide a one-stop-shop for European SMEs wanting to join the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) revolution. It builds on seven established Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) in seven European countries, each embedded in its regional innovation ecosystem, offering complementary technical expertise, experimental capabilities, and specialist knowledge in CPS application domains. From this base, HUBCAP will create a growing and sustainable European network offering SMEs opportunities to undertake experiments, seek investment, access expertise and training, and form new business links. This is enabled by a cloud-based open collaboration platform with a ‘sandbox’ capability to help users trial new technology.
HUBCAP will lower barriers for SMEs to realise the potential of growing autonomy in CPSs by accessing advanced Model-Based Design (MBD) technology, providing training and guidance, and acting as a gateway to the full network of all registered DIHs specialising in CPS. Half the project funding will go to supporting SMEs, including open call funding for SMEs join the ecosystem and experiment with MBD technology. HUBCAP will extend an existing open collaboration platform to enable SMEs to co-create, analyse and validate new CPS products in a virtual setting, by accessing CPS assets (models, tools, services) and experimenting with new solutions, de-risking investments in skills or resources.
The consortium’s DIHs have been chosen to cover complementary MBD capabilities. They represent a wide area of Europe and offer considerable experience in Innovation Actions, managing open calls, and outreach to businesses. Technology providers will help populate and validate the initial collaboration platform and carefully selected seed SMEs will assist in kickstarting the ecosystem and reaching out to entirely new users of MBD technologies. HUBCAP will ensure sustainability through a not-for-profit association to extend and maintain the network and platform after the project.
