Research Partners and Associations
A community of companies and technological leaders
IoTItaly
Associazione Italiana Internet of Things
IoTItaly is a non-profit association whose aim is to represent the interests of companies operating in Italy within the Internet of Things field. The goal of IoTItaly is to create a community of co-operating companies and technological leaders and to develop actual relations during interaction events to contribute to the diffusion of the Internet of Things in Italy.
The association, with its continuous dialog with institutional referents at a national and international level, has the following objectives:
- to realize the best conditions for a development of IoT-related activities in any field, representing the common interests of its members within the appropriate venues;
- to facilitate the actors in Italy by giving them relevant information, in order to better compete both in the domestic and international markets;
- to enable companies to work together as a system for the success of IoT-related initiatives.
EFFRA
European Factories of the Future Research Association
The European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA) is an industry-driven association with the purpose to promote the development of new and innovative manufacturing technologies.
EFFRA’s main goal is to promote pre-competitive research on manufacturing technologies within the EU, by engaging in a public-private partnership with the European Union called ‘Factories of the Future’.
“Factories of the Future” brings together public and private resources by launching marketing-oriented, transnational projects through a program based on progressive research and innovation. These projects create demonstrators and models that will be applied to a wide range of manufacturing sectors.
INTEROP-VLAB
The International Virtual Laboratory for Enterprise Interoperability
INTEROP-VLab is a research network aggregating current and future research laboratories close to industry, with the purpose to achieve goals that each participant alone would not be able to achieve. It consists of a network of 9 regional areas, creating synergy among academies, research centers, industrial stakeholders, SMEs from 9 different European areas and China.
