ADC Project - Bologna 18th January 2011
MissionMission
Sustain enterprises growth through implementation and strengthening of innovation and technological transfer activities.
ActionsActions•Support and stimulate enterprises in each step of
the innovation process.•Facilitate the implementation of enterprises and
local territory innovation attitude.•Facilitate the flow of knowledge from
Universities, Technology suppliers and RTD centers to enterprises.
•Facilitate the technology sharing between enterprises in a district operational framework (competition vs cooperation)
•Support and catalyze the creation of a competences network.

NATIVE FULL-ELECTRIC DRILL-RIGS FOR MICROPILING
Aima cluster of companies wants to develop a new generation of drill rigs in order to:
- Increase energetic efficiency- Reduce pollutions;- Increase performances
ObjectSubstitute hydraulic components and hydraulic controls with mechatronics devices and electric
motors/devices
DemoCenter approach1. Patent research and feasibility study2. Scouting of competences amongst National and International Universities and Research
Centers3. Creation of a detailed business plan;4. Definition of 3 different projects to obtain public grants:
1. “Bando per Reti di Imprese” – Regione Emilia Romagna: develop the company network;
2. Eureka-Eurostars – Europe: develop mechanical aspects3. Research for SMEs – Europe: develop mechatronics and electric/electronic aspects
