DIGIMAT programme
DIGIMAT is a consulting programme designed for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies based or established in the Czech Republic.
By participating in the programme, you will gain the latest knowledge in the field of manufacturing and digital technology. At the same time, you will gain experience from specialists or companies who are more advanced at implementing digitization.
There is so much information about digitization and automation methods that it is easy to become overwhelmed. Owners of manufacturing companies are virtually flooded with invitations to various conferences, seminars and workshops.
The DIGIMAT programme will become your new partner to guide you through this digital jungle and help you set priorities. Our specialists’ impartial expertise, experience and new perspectives will help you set a course and give you the courage to develop your company further.
HOW DOES THE DIGIMAT PROGRAMME WORK?
We always work with you individually on your specific project. Your company can join the DIGIMAT programme repeatedly. Individual projects will be broken down into the following steps:

THE FIRST STEP IS THE INITIAL ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY
The initial analysis reveals opportunities to improve your manufacturing and provides valuable information on how your company is performing in individual areas of manufacturing in terms of digitization compared to other comparable companies (benchmarking).
From the feedback of programme participants, it is clear that even this anonymous comparison is regarded as offering valuable information.

THE SECOND STEP IS A PROPOSED SOLUTION
Then follows a solution proposal compiled by experts. The emphasis is primarily on helping in areas with the greatest potential impact on the growth of your company (help with prioritization). The proposal may also include case studies from which valuable information and experience of companies that have undergone similar changes can be drawn.

THE THIRD STEP IS A RECOMMENDATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE
After presentation and approval of the proposed solution follows a recommendation for the implementation procedure. This is a set of specific recommendations leading to the successful implementation of the proposed solutions, including the recommending of proven suppliers from among the technology partners of the DIGIMAT programme.

THE FINAL STEP IS RECOMMENDING POSSIBLE SOURCES OF FUNDING
There are many possible sources of financing for investment projects. It can be difficult to know what they offer and what their rules are. Our specialists will advise you on what current calls in the Czech Republic are suitable for your project. Alternatively, we will help link you up to international research and innovation projects, most often under the EUREKA and Horizon 2020 programmes.
The DIGIMAT programme cooperates with specialists and technology companies in the role of programme partners to achieve maximum expertise during each of the above project steps. Thanks to this connection, your company will get all the necessary information and contacts. And by implementing the recommended solution, you will achieve new competitive advantages and increase your manufacturing efficiency.
