Federated CPS Digital Innovation Hubs for the Smart Anything Everywhere Initiative - Second open call for Application Experiments

Deadline: Sep 18, 2018  
CALL EXPIRED

Scope:

FED4SAE is part of the Smart-Anything-Everywhere Initiative. The three-year project aims to facilitate the acceleration of European Cyber-Physical System (CPS) and Embedded Systems solutions to market and will boost digitization of European industry by strengthening companies’ competitiveness in the CPS market. It is targeted at European start-ups, SMEs and midcaps in all sectors dedicated to building and creating novel and innovative digital products and services addressing new markets, such as smart cities, smart agriculture, smart food, smart health and wellbeing, smart building, smart transport and others.

We are looking for companies that want to:

•   Develop novel and innovative smart solutions that will enable them take a leading position in their target markets.

•   Use the most advanced technologies and industrialized solutions to link the physical world with the virtual world in combing hardware and software expertise

•   Gain access to resources, competencies and save development time

•   Enter into a unique European ecosystem gathering leading industrial companies, world class research organizations, innovation accelerator and private investors

What we offer:

Through our open calls, FED4SAE provides a unique marketplace organized as a one-stop-shop with access to leading-edge industrial platforms along with access to several advanced technologies and testbeds as well as support through expertise, know-how, coaching, design support, tech transfer from our partners.

Application Experiments will receive relevant business and innovation management support - linking applicants to suppliers, well-connected business infrastructures and existing regional innovation hubs - to facilitate the industrialization of the developed solution.

On top of that, we are providing up to 60.000 € of funding for the selected proposals - at a funding rate of 70% of the budget – to support the development of the proposed solution.

The FED4SAE Application Experiments are expected to be designed and developed based on one of the following FED4SAE industrial platforms

•  TIME4SYS from Thales
•  Integrated and Open Development Platform from AVL
•  Neural Compute Stick from Intel – Computer Vision at the edge.
•  Compute Card from Intel – a credit card sized computer.
•  STM32F platform from STMicroelectronics France
•  WeSu platform and ODE-STM32 Nucleo Expansion Boards from STMicroelectronics Italy

Our Research and Development centers offer access to a wide range of advanced technologies and testbeds:

•   Silicon Impulse, LINC, Sensinact and SigmaFusion from CEA

•   WiseNET ,GPS free localization solver, Vision in a Package, Hyper Vision, WiseDep Chemical Sensing, Soft Mems, Adv Manufacturing & package from CSEM

•   π-Fab from Fraunhofer IISB

•   AIDE from KTH

How to enter:

•  Eclipse 4diac from fortiss
•  Reliability testbed from BME
•  Products and Technologies Living-lab testbed from CEA
•  Lorawan LPWAN Testbed from DigiCat
•  Research Concept Vehicle testbed from KTH
•  Santander Smart City testbed from UNICAN
•  Corrosive Gases, Gas Sensor and Energy Electronic testbed from Fraunhofer IISB

To benefit from our acceleration program, apply to our open call to develop your innovative solution.

Each Application Experiment is based on a combination of one of our industrial platforms with an advanced technology or testbed - or extensive coaching in case TIME4SYS or IODP are used. The expected outcome of our Application Experiments (ranging from between 9 to 18 months) is a demonstrator prototype for software-intensive or system integration projects with high technology readiness level (TRL). The prototype may also be used as a first generation product.

Interested European startups, SMEs and mid-Caps are encouraged to review details of these platforms and technologies on www.FED4SAE.eu and contact our project members to find out more:

•   CEA Leti (France)

•   Intel Research and Development Ireland (Ireland)

•   STMicroelectronics SRL (Italy)

•   STMicroelectronics Grenoble (France)

•   Thales SA (France)

•   AVL List GmbH (Austria)

•   Digital Catapult (UK)

•  Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (Germany)

•  fortiss GmbH (Germany)

•  CSEM (Switzerland)

•  KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden)

•  Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) (Hungary)

•  Cantabria University (UNICAN) (Spain)

•  Blumorpho SAS (France)
