Description

The main goal of Digital Innovation Hubs is to help companies become more competitive using digital technologies on a non-profit basis - this inlcudes to support the digital transformation of SMEs. Innomine serves this purpose focusing on manufacturing SMEs especially in the automotive / discrete manufacturing sector. Based on previous projects and cooperation activities with international partners we have wide network of both manufacturing companies, research organizations and specialized experts. We have means to access them, and already surveyed their needs in becoming more effective within their everyday practices (like reduce scrap rate, decrease maintenance cost, improve planning and cost control etc.) and how to manage digital transformation.

Our mission is to become the key partner in the region in SME digitalization and digital transformation projects. We plan to empower manufacturing companies with digital technologies to further improve and maximize innovation capabilities and productivity. Our mission and Unique Value Proposition is offering of our digital transformation expertise, services and previous proven experience in three areas: 1. provide knowledge (what to do, what technology to use, how to solve specific issues etc.), 2. Remove risks connected to digitization project and 3. Ensure (co-)funding from public funds.

Innomine is located in Budapest and Pecs, Hungary (Central Hungary and Southern Transdanubia). 

Innomine DIH aims to make an impact on Hungarian SMEs, increase their efficiency by using digital technologies therefore contribute to the sustainable development of the country and to build a circular economy.  

Innomine DIH is currently part of Cloudifacturing project (www.cloudifacturing.eu) to design and support experiments to optimize manufacturing processes with the help of cloud and HPC technologies. 

in 2017 we have been selected by EC to be part of the CEE DIH program to upscale our DIH activities - carried out by PWC and Oxentia. In 2018 we have successfully completed the program.

In 2018 we have been selected by a Hungarian program to expand our digital innovation services in the Southern Danubian region. 

Our main thematic focus is smart manufacturing, using digital technolologies to increase efficiency of SMEs. Main technologies: HPC, cloud, human centered production, digital twinning, AI, zero defect manufacturing, networked factory etc. 

We are delivering DIH services since 2017 when started the Cloudifacturing project.

Innomine DIH has been created based on the Hungarian S3 strategy and since we are especially active in two regions we carefully analyzed also the RIS3 strategies. One proof of the alignment is a recent structural fund financed project, where our DIH was awarded to develop and digitize local traditional SMEs in the Southern Danubian region in the framework of an EU program (which is by default in synch with RIS3 strategies and for all selected project this was a prerequisite).

Innomine DIH is part of the local ecosystem, innomine DIH’s CEO (Dr Gábor Vicze) was one of the persons in Hungary to initiate the Ipar40 (Industry40) platform (later turned to an association). Gábor is leader of the innovation and business model working group of the platform.

innomine has been selected in 2017 by EC within the Support and mentoring program for DIHs in new member states program. (link to original program https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/implementing-digitising-european-industry-actions/digital-innovation-hubs-smart-factories-new-eu ) innomine has completed the program in 2018 with success (carried out by PWC and Oxentia) http://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dih-online-training-smartfactories-

innomine DIH is connected with other local policy initatives and currently is leader of a Structural fund supported project to scale its DIH activities in the Southern Transdanubia region (reaching 50+ local SMEs) in full alignment with the Hungarian and regional S3 strategies.

Member of I4MS supporting organisations programme (used this form https://i4ms.eu/supportive-partners). Supporter of ADMA (European Advanced Manufacturing Support Centre) program.

We are currently part of multiple programs and scaling our service portfolio and geographical coverage.

Specific case where our DIH offered access to facilities for an SME to the latest digital technologies:

Pls review our project with Bakony Elektronika (an automotive supplier in Hungary http://bakonyelektronika.eu/), where we provided access to the latest HPC/cloud technology for them.
