We helped the company to obtain financial support of 12 800 EUR
The Liberec company specializing in research, development and production of machinery and equipment for the manufacturing industry has been cooperating with our expert consultants from the Technology Centre Prague (TC) for a long time and uses their help in finding financial opportunities for the development of the company in various areas and for employee training.
TC carried out a digitization scan with the client to analyze the current situation and provided several suggestions, including the identification of needs where the company should focus its efforts to be more efficient in digital processes (in the form of a Transformation Plan). The aim was also to increase employee knowledge in the area of digitalisation and to help build the necessary knowledge base, particularly in the area of Smart Manufacturing. In addition to the provision of training, the company received financial support of EUR 2,800 as part of the cascade funding in the ADMA TranS4MErs project.
TC offered the client the activities of the EENergy project, which promotes energy efficiency in companies. The company received funding of €10,000, which it used to install energy-efficient LED lighting in its premises, resulting in reduced energy consumption and financial savings and, in the long term, supporting the company's sustainable business.
