Specifically, the objective of the project is to help SMEs in the automotive, naval and aerospace sectors, as well as their supply chain, to integrate themselves into the new concept of digital factory. All this through knowledge transfer and the use of existing R&D infrastructures.

The rest of the partners participating in the project are: the Associação Portuguesa para o Clúster das Industrias Aeronáutica do Espaço e da Defesa (AEDCP), Innovation and Development Agency of Andalusia (IDEA Agency), the Agência de Desenvolvimento do Alentejo (ADRAL), the Engenharia e Desenvolvimento Center (CEIIA), the Official Chamber of Commerce of Seville, the Metal Entrepreneurs Federation (FEDEME), Diseño y automatización Ningenia, the Science and Technology Park of Alentejo (PACT), the University of Évora and the University of Seville.
