Malta Enterprise team involved in H2020 funded project on Advanced Manufacturing Assistance and Training for SME transformation (ADMA TranS4MErs)
Maltese manufacturing SMEs can now benefit from fast, flexible, pan-European access to advanced manufacturing advice, expertise and training. This is made possible due to the ADMA TranS4MErs project, bringing together a consortium of experts from EU-27 member states.
The project supports ambitious Maltese SMEs on their digital transformation journey, designed to ensure that Malta, and Europe, embrace the transformation of the economy and society and brings its benefits to ALL citizens and businesses. With the support of ADMA TranS4MErs, Malta Enterprise technical advisers facilitate and deliver assistance with digital competencies (underpinned by core technologies such as: Automation, Robotics, 3D Printing,Virtual and Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity) and training in advanced skills in digital technologies in SMEs.
This EU-funded initiative is led by the well-established technology centre Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR). It amplifies pan-European advanced manufacturing assistance and training for SMEs supporting the transformation of 1,000+ manufacturing SMEs to become ‘Factories of the Future’ embracing the ecological, digital, and societal challenges across Europe by 2025. Malta Enterprise is one of the 38 project partners.
This initiative follows from a previous project valued at over €5.6 million from the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 “Innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises” work programme, building on the effort of the European Advanced Manufacturing
(ADMA) Support Centre.
