ICT Innovation for
Manufacturing SMEs in FP7
• Key role of SMEs in value chains: users and suppliers
• SMEs need more than €s
• 150 application experiments along value chains clustered
• Clustered around networks of competence centres
• Open Calls for experiments during course of projects
� access to technology & competences
� access to infrastructures
� access to new markets on an EU-scale across
sectors and regions

4. Outlooks
What we ask for : Innovation Actions - main features
• Facilitate the adoption of advanced ICT in manufacturing domain
• Two types of Innovation experiments:
Obj. FoF9 – Phase II I4MS:
ICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs
I4MS: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE
� Application experiments provide first users with novel products and services and
assist them in the application in their respective environments
� Assessment experiments support suppliers of innovative high-tech equipment to
assess and validate their protypes or products in production-like environments
Obj. FoF9 – Phase II I4MS:
ICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs
What we ask for : Innovation Actions - main features
• Experiments should be clustered in large projects to better exploit EU-
added value and achieve critical mass
• Financial support to third parties
I4MS: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE
• Financial support to third parties
� Funding opportunity for additional suppliers and users (typically in the order of
EUR 50K – 150K per party) which will be selected during the projects (in line
with the conditions set out in part K of the General Annexes).
� Maximum 50% of the EU funding should be allocated to this purpose.

Main tasks and services include :� maintaining a single innovation portal for newcomers;
� sharing of best practices and experiences; dissemination; brokering between
users and suppliers in view of open calls;
� leveraging further investment by stimulating replication, by brokering access to
venture capital or other private investment, and by exploiting regional funds in the
context of the European strategy on "Smart Specialisation"
What impact is expected:
� Attract new users of advanced ICT in the manufacturing sector
� Innovative technology suppliers to provide with new equipment,
components, and tools for improved manufacturing and
