Name & description
- Support programme to Innovative Business Groupings (at national level)
Project name
- eBRIDGE “Empowering e-fleets for business and private purposes in cities”: funded under the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme (IEE) and operative since March 2013, this project aims to demonstrate that the introduction of electric vehicles in captive fleets for corporate and private usage in cities can help overcome barriers and efficiently contribute to improving market conditions for the electric mobility sector. CEAGA participates, together with 13 companies and institutions from 6 EU countries, in this project and its role is transferring electric vehicles to its member companies and monitoring their use.
- CO-GISTICS "Cooperative Logistics for sustainable mobility": 31 entities all over Europe collaborate with CEAGA in this project, co-funded under the CIP ICT PSP work programme 2013. The main objective is improving the efficiency of the goods transport in different areas, implementing the already existing technologies in the different pilot experiences simultaneously carried out in 6 European cities (Trieste, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Vigo, Thessaloniki and Frankfurt).
- AEOLIX (Architecture for EurOpean Logistics Information eXchange):The AEOLIX project will develop a digital ecosystem to better manage, plan and synchronise freight and logistics operations across Europe. By enabling low complexity and low cost connectivity of local ICT platforms and systems and thereby scalable, trusted and secure exchange of information, AEOLIX will improve the overall competitiveness of goods transport in the supply chain, while simultaneously targeting sustainability from environmental, economic and social perspectives.
- EACN (European Automotive Cluster Network for Joint Industrial Modernisation Investments): The European Automotive Cluster Network is an European project formed by nine clusters. The aim of the initiative is to strength Cluster-to-Cluster cooperation via a common collaboration strategy and joint cluster actions; boost competitiveness of cluster members, especially SMEs, via business creation, the initiation of collaborative research projects and of joint investments in industrial modernisation in the field of Industry of the Future; and build an strategic interregional collaboration and strong industry cooperation focused on four pillars: virtualisation for planning processes (simulation and modelling), elasticity of production processes in SMEs, robotics & artificial intelligence in production processes, skills and competences of people.
- FIT4FoF (Making our Workforce Fit for the Factory of the Future): FIT4FoF project aims at addressing workers’ needs, analysing technology trends across 6 industrial areas of robotics, additive manufacturing, mechatronics/machine automation, data analytics, cybersecurity and human machine interaction, to define new job profiles, which will inform education and training requirements. Also, FIT4FoF will develop a new education and training framework, which places workers at the centre of a co-design and development process that recognises and addresses their skills needs. By applying educational approaches based on Communities of Practice, FIT4FoF will empower workers to be drivers of the design, development and delivery of their own upskilling programmes.
- MOBAE (Cadena de Valor de la Movilidad Avanzada y Extendida en Galicia y Norte de Portugal): The MOBAE initiative arises to boost the high potential of the Galicia-North Portugal Euroregion linked to mobility. Its aim is to contribute to the advanced mobility value chain, helping to boost emerging skills, support entrepreneurship and generate new business opportunities through hybridisation between the automotive, ICT, aerospace and hyperlongevity fields. The MOBAE project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) through the Interreg V-A Spain-Portugal (POCTEP) 2014-2020.
