Target groups
SMEs (small and medium-sized companies) are the main focus of RECENTRE, but mid-caps and larger enterprises active in mechatronics and automation, automotive, and bioeconomy within the Alpine region are also welcome to participate. Companies can either apply directly or act as expert partners supporting transformation projects in others.
Are you an expert?
RECENTRE also welcomes companies that act as experts in transformation processes toward industry 5.0. These expert companies can register through the expression of interest form to become part of the RECENTRE expert pool. They may later be matched with SMEs, mid-caps, or larger companies that have identified transformation needs. The collaboration between experts and companies with transformation projects can also benefit from RECENTRE’s support – including access to consultancy services and financial assistance under the same conditions.
Why Participate?
Receive expert guidance to identify your specific transformation needs towards Industry 5.0
Develop a detailed, tailor-made transition plan for sustainable, digital, and human-centric advancements
Receive consultancy services and the option to receive support valued at up to 10,000€ for those services
How Does it Work?
Through RECENTRE’s structured system, the steps are as follows:
1. Expression of Interest: Companies of all sizes, including SMEs, mid-caps, and larger enterprises, submit their general contact details and eligibility information using the Expression of Interest Form provided on this website. Submitting a project idea at this stage is optional, as it can also be developed later together with the regional RECENTRE partner.
2. One-on-One Meeting: The regional RECENTRE partner arranges an online or on-site meeting to develop a concise transition plan outlining the company’s transformation goals. This plan provides a clear overview for comparison
3. Transition Plan Submission & Evaluation: The developed transition plans are submitted and evaluated against predefined criteria.
4. Selection: The international advisory board and RECENTRE team review and select the 50 most promising transition plans (five plans per project region).
5. Financial Support: Selected companies receive support to fund detailed consultancy with a service value of up to €10,000; aimed at structural and financial realization of their transformation project.
6. Final Reporting: Participating companies submit a final report documenting the consultancy process, outcomes, and the use of the funds provided.
