IOTEC
Development of technological capacities around the industrial application of Internet of Things (IoT)
Challenge
The POCTEP regions are constituted, predominantly, by rural areas, high levels of aging population and an economic development below the community average, with special emphasis on the Portuguese side of the border.
Boosting the competitiveness of SMEs in these regions is the only alternative for the necessary increase in their productivity, growth of population establishment in the region and cross-border exchange of specialized young people. The members of the IOTEC project consider that the catalytic element for the increase of competitiveness can be IoT technologies, either by the specialization of ICT SMEs that will allow them to launch into the market new products and services, inside and outside the region, or through the improvement of the productive processes of Industrial SMEs that will allow them to be more competitive in local, national and international markets.
Solution
The overall objective of IOTEC project is to generate a network of scientific and technological actors in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) in the regions of Castilla y Leon and Portugal Centre Region, which will:
O1: Generate knowledge and expertise in R & D + I in IoT technologies and encourage technology transfer processes.
O2: Promote R & D + I processes in IoT technologies in the regional companies/ industry, focusing on two segments: SMEs in the field of ICT, and innovative industrial SMEs.
O3: Create an interregional R & D + I action plan to generate an ecosystem dedicated to future projects that incorporate IoT technology, that creates added value and maintains activities for the promotion and diffusion of Internet technologies of things.
