About Us
A Competence Center in Bologna for Industry 4.0
Bi-Rex is one of the 8 Italian Competence Centers funded by the Italian Ministry of the Economic Development, within the Industry 4.0 National Plan: our main focus is on Big Data.
Our public-private Consortium, born in 2018, has its headquarter in Bologna (Italy) and gathers in partnership 57 players among Universities, Research Centers and Companies of excellence in order to assist companies, in particular SMEs, through a varied series of services: from consultancy to technology assessment, from design to validation of innovative solutions, from orientation to training, up to the Pilot Plant.
We support companies in their digitalization and technological innovation processes, through the adoption of Industry 4.0 enabling technologies and we intend to collect the know-how of the Emilia Romagna High Technology network (industrial research laboratories, infrastructures, Digital Innovation Hubs) with a national and international road map, aimed at the development of high TRL solutions (close to the market), in particular for SMEs.
Our Consortium is configured as a highly specialized Competence Center, constituted according to the modalities established by Italian Ministry of Economic Development in conjunction with Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance.
