  • Integrated data storage and standardisation
  • AI-driven parametric solutions
  • Advanced inspection and quality control in robotic manufacturing
  • Adaptive manufacturing and quality control
  • Sensor integration for robotic navigation
  • Life cycle and cost assessment

Projects must start at TRL ≥ 3 and aim to reach TRL 6+ by the end of the support period.

Pilots – Real-World Validation

Selected solutions will be tested in four large-scale Pilots across Europe:

  • AI-driven façade design optimisation
  • Manufacturing pilots in Hungary
  • Installation and recycling pilots in real-world residential, hospital, and office buildings

 

Eligibility

  • Open to SMEs and start-ups across Europe
  • Single entities only
  • Proposals must select one innovation challenge and show feasibility within the project timeframe

 

Support Beyond Funding
