The key differentiator of EuroCPS is to be a one-stop-shop for emerging products with a business model accessible to SMEs and new entrants. EuroCPS will act as a value chain aggregator. The network competencies are multidisciplinary (nano-electronics, embedded systems, components, etc.). Industrial partners in experiments will collaborate, driven by user demands, using the available advanced technologies. Innovators across sectors and regions will be connected. EuroCPS will provide both knowledge about application domains and knowledge of advanced technologies and platforms. EuroCPS will be an instrument where demand meets offer; more than a “just” an academic institute, It is an incubation centre. EuroCPS is connected to end users and to industry. EuroCPS features:
EuroCPS will be a place where multidisciplinary and concurrent designs from system to product are built. The technologies and competencies offered allow innovators from SME and mid-caps to overcome trial and error approaches. Smooth and efficient design processes are provided through advanced platforms and world class quality competency partners. EuroCPS features multidisciplinary teams and experts in a set of complementary competencies covering the key technologies required to design CPS:
