Policy-driven Innovation in Manufacturing Through Digital Technologies

What happens when two capital cities combine their innovation strengths instead of working in parallel? That is the idea behind the Twin City Future Innovation Manufacturing Hub (2C FIMH).

The project connects startups, industry, academia, NGOs, and public institutions across Vienna and Bratislava to build a shared innovation ecosystem for the future of manufacturing.
