Organisation profile

IMPROVENET is a regional cluster made up of the 4 Veneto universities, a group of manufacturing companies, service providers with high know-how and research entities keen on developing a path of innovation by investing in information technologies (ICT) that has operated in Veneto Region since 2017. It is represented by a consortium of private and public institution and enterprises: Confindustria Veneto SIAV, Desamanera, Galdi, Fondazione Univeneto, Santex Rimar Group, and T2i.

The cluster gathers ca. 40 companies. Its mission is to spread ICT technologies in the Veneto regional industrial fabric, to allow companies to be more competitive, productive, and responsive to market needs, enriching the processes and instrumental products with services, and to ensure maximum production efficiency.

Field of expertise: products and services essential to value-added benefit

The main actions that IMPROVENET intends to implement are:

• implementation of pilot projects capable of quantifying the investments required to activate digital manufacturing innovation processes
• creation of construction paths and enhancement of the new skills required to face the innovation path, addressing the issue of operator training
• the establishment of a body to represents the region and its industrial fabric in national and international institutions, in this way also increasing the global visibility of local companies.

IMPROVENET uses all the skills present in the network: those of the University of Veneto and of the participating research centres, as well as the specialised skills of manufacturing, service, and IT companies.
