Smart V4 Strategies

South Poland Cleantech Cluster participates in a newly started Visegrad project together with partners – Czech Smart City Cluster, Slovak Smart City Cluster and Digitalis Jolet nonprofit from Hungary. The project “Smart V4 Strategies” was awarded financing support from the Visegrad Fund.

The aim of the project is to connect relevant partners in the given area of SMART strategies and prepare procedures for classification of SMART strategies in V4 countries into one complex database portal. The project offers V4 partners international cooperation in unifying SMART strategies to GreenDeal/SDG rules. The vision is to strengthen the unity and effectiveness in implementation of SMART strategies in all V4 countries.
More about the project

South Poland Cleantech Cluster

is the initiator of the krk UrbanHub project - a sustainable CEE (Central- and Eastern European) urbanization hub
krakowurbanhub is a partner in the urbanhub europe consortium of European cities consisting of BLOXHUB in Copenhagen, KIRAHub in Helsinki, Munich Urban Colab, FACTORY Hammerbrooklyn Hamburg, FAKTORY Berlin, Urban Resilience Hub Barcelona
krk UrbanHub is a national and international meeting place that engages people in architecture, design and sustainable urban development. This is done through exhibitions, debates, events, business development and new partnerships.
krk UrbaHhub is an ecosystem for creating cities of the future, and at the same time a space to share ideas, skills and strategies for designing buildings and urban development based on a people-centered approach and high standards of sustainable development, and a membership-based community combining urban development, architecture, design, design, construction, circular economy and digitization.

SPCleantech is co-founder of European Alliance for Cross- Industrial Circular Economy Investments (ICEI Alliance) consisting of European clusters and universities. During 2020-2021 there have been held meetings to prepare the establishment of the European Alliance for Cross- Industrial Circular Economy Investments, hosted by the Circular Economy Centre at Digipolis, Kemi, Finland.

The ICEI Alliance has for ambition to make Europe the global industrial circular economy platform to accelerate the deployment of world-class circular economy solutions to industry. It acts as a pipeline of business-led circular economy investment projects. Alliance members support businesses with the structuring of their investment cases as well as with accessing funding and financing streams.

Janusz Kahl, CEO in SPCleantech visited on 20.09.2017 Västerås Science Park, Expectrum, robot cluster, Robotdalen and ABB headquarters in Västerås with the purpose to start cooperation in the field of Industry 4.0, especially in the process of automation and robotizing of production in smart factories. The cooperation will contribute to promoting the notion of Industry 4.0 among cluster members and supporting them in the process of introducing new technologies.

For some time we are entering Industry 4.0, where computers and automation are starting to work in a completely new way, where robots are remotely linked to computer systems equipped with machine learning algorithms that can learn and control robots with very little involvement of human operators.

Industry 4.0 introduces the so called “Smart factory,” where cyber-crime systems monitor the physical processes of the factory and make decentralized decisions. Physical systems become the Internet of Things, communicating and interacting with each other and with people in real time over the wireless network.

Robotdalen cluster, supports innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers and companies in developing and commercializing their robot innovations. It offers competence in product development, technical analysis, simulation, business development and market development. Partners and networks provide access to, for example, financing, prototype developers, early customers, and incubators. Within the Robotdalen (Valley of the Robots) cooperation takes place between industry, the academic community and public operators in the Södermanland, Västmanland and Örebro districts. This cooperation aims to strengthen the region as a world leader in the manufacturing, research and development of robotics.

In Robotdalen we made personal contact with Adam Hagman, a Polish industrial engineer responsible for industrial robots and robots working in the health and hospitality industries.
