Potential for learning or transfer
Our practices currently do, and systematically will contribute positively to SMEs development and to SMEs owners – by changing the way of thinking and encouraging business innovation and technological transformation processes. We believe that innovative approach and implementation of 4.0 solutions is not optional anymore – it is a must. And yet, we still observe very low level of digitalization and the urgent need for sharing the knowledge.
