AIM's goal is to identify good practices and services for the improvement of an ecosystem that supports the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies by European SMEs. The project intends, through a process of "Peer Learning", to identify services, tools and skills necessary to facilitate the transition of SMEs to new production systems. The final objective is to lay the foundations for the creation of a "Regional Innovation Hub" dedicated to advanced manufacturing technologies in order to support SMEs on technology transfer, the adaptation of skills and the new business models linked to the processes of Industry 4.0 .
