Turkey based university has developed a new advanced ceramic dough formation methodology by polymer bridging through coagulation for rapid prototyping. Translation of ceramics manufacturing to Industry 4.0 significantly lags behind other materials. Building upon the current framework of EFPF (European Factory Platform), the university generated automated route for the green machining of yttria-stabilized zirconia as a forefront showcase for the integration of high-performance ceramics to EFPF.

A Bulgarian SME with experience in the R&D of specialised technologies, products, and engineering solutions has developed an automated smart system for light signalisation of pedestrian crossings / walkways using artificial intelligence (AI) for more safety and traffic control on the roads. The company is looking for commercial agreements with technical assistance with interested companies and public authorities.

A German company, innovation leader in the development and production of machines for shoe production, offers solutions for automated material guidance with integrated robots as well as automation solutions for the direct soling process. The company is looking to assist shoe manufacturers bring their production to new heights regarding volume, efficiency, sustainability, and quality and is looking for commercial agreements with technical assistance.

A Finnish software company has developed an automated monitoring tool to detect database performance issues in software development. The tool enables real-time performance monitoring during the software development and prevents database performance related software project delays and call-backs from occurring. The company is looking for partners interested to integrate the monitoring tool into existing software development tools under commercial agreement with technical assistance.

A German start-up (in formation) has developed a fully automated laboratory machine for fast, easy and reliable production of high quality nanoparticle suspensions. The machine provides on demand access to nanoparticles. Prototypes exist which have been tested in the development of energy and biomedical materials so far. They look for industrial/academic partners from all fields that use nanoparticle suspension (life sciences, materials, energy, chemistry) for technical/research co-operation.
