The tender will be held until July 17, 2024 with the aim of supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in the European Union in adopting and implementing innovative and sustainable digital and advanced production solutions to accelerate their transformation into more efficient and competitive factories of the future. Up to 800 selected SMEs will receive funding to work with certified knowledge brokers – TranS4MErs – to build their customized digital transformation journey.

The transformation program consists of two phases – planning and renovation.

During the planning phase, SMEs receive up to 8 hours of dedicated support from a certified consultant, TranS4MEr. Small and medium-sized enterprises log into the ADMA TranS4MErsxChange platform, where they take the ADMA Scan (i.e. a self-assessment based on key areas of transformation related to Industry 4.0 topics to assess their digital and advanced manufacturing maturity level).

Then the cooperation between the company and TranS4MEr begins with the aim of assessing the company’s business needs and opportunities for digitization and creating a customized transformation and implementation plan. The plan is the basis for selection to the second stage of the tender.

In the renewal phase, SMEs receive up to EUR 5,000 for selected innovation and consulting services and tools available in the ADMA TranS4MErs catalog to complete their transformation journey and achieve their digitization goals.

Vouchers for the open tender are awarded by country on a first-come, first-served basis. Selection dates start in June 2023.
