About

We are seeking to establish a strategic partnership with an organization that shares our vision of innovating the industrial sector, in the areas of manufacturing, asset-intensive systems, and logistics through advanced digital technologies — in particular, Digital Twins.
Our research group specializes in the design and development of intelligent cyber-physical systems that leverage data-driven models to support decision-making and actuation, with high-fidelity Digital Twin solutions as a key enabling technology  that virtually replicate physical systems in real-time, enabling continuous monitoring, intelligent control, and predictive analytics across the product and production lifecycle.

Purpose of the Partnership:

  • Joint collaboration of innovative Digital Twin solutions tailored to industrial needs.

  • Sharing of vision knowledge and resources to foster mutual growth in the field of smart manufacturing.

  • Collaboration on R&D projects (regional, national, or European), co-authoring proposals and jointly implementing pilot use cases.

  • Support in the development and application of Digital Twin Technology: mutual support in the development, application and adaptation of Digital Twins and related platforms around the industrial challenges and optimization needs.

Why Partner with Us:

  • We bring a strong academic and applied research background in Digital Twin design, AI for manufacturing, and industrial data analytics.

  • Our team has a track record of successful research activities and use cases analysis, and positive participation in funded innovation projects to develop our expertise around Digital Twins.

  • We value open and goal-oriented collaboration, aiming to translate research into tangible industrial value.

  • We are flexible in defining cooperation models: from co-funded research to bilateral agreements or innovation consortia.

Ideal Partner Profile:

  • Industrial companies, technology providers, research centers, or innovation hubs active in Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, or cyber-physical systems.

  • Organizations interested in co-developing demonstrators, validating solutions in operational settings, and/or co-investing in innovation activities.

  • Entities with a strong commitment to digital transformation and sustainable manufacturing.

We believe that long-term, cross-sector partnerships are key to unlocking the full potential of Digital Twin technologies. Let’s shape the future of manufacturing together.
