Example 1) Robotized system for stone-working
• Robotized system for the reproduction of marble artifacts
• The customer was a system integrator having a contract with a manufacturingSME (benefiting of a regional funding)
• Enabling technologies: vision systems,
robot control
• Trough the developed solution, traditional marble-working companies can continue their activity in Italy

• Not at standard use, yet (inaugurated in 2013)
• Technology suppliers very interested
• De-manufacturing companies already “in the business” are interested
• They are currently participating to pilot plant activities inside an “industrial interest working group”
• Activity of “creating the innovation community” around the pilot plant
• How to know that a pilot plant exists (marketing of pilot plants)?

Difficulties
• Hard to explain companies this complicated governance at National/Regional level
• Companies, especially SMEs, do not perceive immediately the strategic value of participating to Clusters
• A strong diffusion activity is needed
• Essential to have the endorsement of the Institutions

Conclusions
• Innovation is addressed at different levels in the frame of a coherent strategy (innovation services, infrastructure development, policy and clustering)
• Important conditions to play this role are: • The direct involvement of the institute in the research
phase • The policy-related activity at European, National and
Regional level
• Hard to cooperate with SMEs in innovation, but pilot plants and Technology Clusters are promising avenues
