Moravian Aerospace Cluster is actively trying to support the competitiveness of its members through innovation in the manufacturing processes as well as introducing new methods of advanced manufacturing. This is why the project ETNA was submitted in 2020 with the international consortium.
ETNA - increases the competitiveness of SMEs providing easy and pan-European access to advanced manufacturing.
The ETNA project is going to increase the competitiveness of SMEs by creating a pan-European base focused on SMEs that would offer the required technological, economic, and educational help regarding the usage of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT) in order to improve the products and processes of the SMEs that push their innovations forward. The project is going to connect important technological centers and universities that work on researching and introducing advanced manufacturing processes and the concept of Industry 4.0 with SMEs. This will happen thanks to clusters helping the SMEs with establishing the connections. The state of the companies will be analyzed and the option of coaching, training, and advice regarding the introduction of principles and innovations of AMT. It is therefore going to offer the opportunity of utilizing top European experts and information free of charge.
The request was applied to the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme – For better innovation support to SMEs (H2020-INNOSUP-2018-2020).
We received financial aid of 153 000 CZK from the ASSISTANCE VOUCHERS OF THE ZLÍN REGION project to prepare this application and a feasibility study (which translated to 85% of the costs).
