Objective:
Industrial waste streams of SMEs have to be treated more effectively to close material cycles. Currently, amounts generated are too low to allow for separate collection and treatment. Industry 4.0 applications are a key enabler but SMEs lack access to relevant knowledge. The project will design lifelong learning based on an analysis of industry needs, conduct training workshops with SMEs and develop concepts for business models.
The solution (technology):
The project will design lifelong learning based on an analysis of actual industry needs, conduct training workshops with SMEs and develop concepts for future business models in this area.
