AI REGIO will promote closer cooperation between European regions, EU and non-EU countries to ensure that innovations can be scaled up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As far as technology is concerned, projects and initiatives do exist, but they tend to run too independently of each other and miss the opportunity to mutually benefit from the results. AI REGIO will build on the digital manufacturing platforms from previous EU-funded projects, such as BEinCPPS (www.beincpps.eu), MIDIH (www.midih.eu), L4MS (www.l4ms.eu\/content\/l4ms-project-home) and AI4EU (https:\/\/www.ai4eu.eu\/) and help integrate these into Digital Innovation Hub offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As far as business is concerned, current Digital Innovation Hub offerings are limited to Industry 4.0 applications focused on machine-to-machine interaction, advanced connectivity and big data analytics. They still don\u2019t focus on AI-driven applications, which drastically change the relationship between autonomous systems and humans. AI REGIO aims to bridge this gap by further improving the network of regional and SME Digital Innovation Hubs, which will jointly conduct 30 AI-based application experiments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>COMET CLUSTER\u2019S ROLE<\/strong><\/span> | <span>As partner of IP4FVG (www.ip4fvg) \u2013FVG Region\u2019s Digital Innovation Hub network \u2013 COMET will \u00a0create awareness around the topic of Artificial Intelligence, make SMEs and other interested parties conscious of AI-solutions potentialities and supporting them in the development of competences and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>COMET will implement an experimental use case \u00a0for the development of an Intelligent DSS for predictive <\/span><span>quality assurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>PROJECT BUDGET<\/strong><\/span> | <span>The project is co-funded by the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 (Grant Agreement No 952003).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Total budget: \u20ac 9,200,080<br \/>EU funding: \u20ac 7,999,207<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>DURATION<\/strong><\/span> | 36 months (10.2020 &#8211; 09.2023)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>FOR MORE INFORMATION<\/strong><\/span> | <a href=\"www.airegio-project.eu\">www.airegio-project.eu<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/cordis.europa.eu\/project\/id\/952003\">https:\/\/cordis.europa.eu\/project\/id\/952003<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#191919&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;df44ae6c-237c-4332-aad4-364fbf818df2&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Discover all projects<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;zoom&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjEzNDUifX0=@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;1.
