I4MS also joins the Barcelona innovation ecosystem "the show must go on" spirit, to maintain the MWC2020 agenda to the maximum extent. In any case, I4MS will continue showcasing industry 4.0 technologies in Europe through its brand. This event will take place now online through a webinar focused on additive manufacturing, high-performance computing simulations, cyber-physical systems and IoT and intra-factory logistics.

The intention is to expand the impact of early adopters' experiments within the EU manufacturing sector. Many companies still must go through this transformation process to raise their competitiveness and be able to create wealth in a modern context. This is key to maintain the competition with the other two major global blocs, USA and China. To this end, I4MS experts are inviting SMEs to attend a webinar in which they will explain how to access these technologies, on the 25th of February at 12:00 CET. The webinar can be attended in the following url: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/i4ms-digital-transformation-services-marketplaces-for-manufacturing-smes-tickets-95222516109.

This webinar, organised by FundingBox and Mobile World Capital, will keep guiding SMEs in their digital transformation path, explaining how digital technologies can improve product quality, process efficiency, and business profitability and how to master the deployment and operationalization of digital tools and the use of those particular tools and marketplaces. 

The EU companies registered at the MWC2020 event and interested in industry 4.0 developments can join this online activity that will count with the presence of experts from other EU initiatives: L4MS, Cloudifacturing, MIDIH and AMable.
