PROPOSAL

• Unlock the EU renovation wave through cutting-edge standardized, through the InCUBE Suite, that integrates digital tools across all 4 pillars of innovation: 1) Industrialization: Off-site manufactured solutions including the use of robots 2) Novel self-RES power producing and storage technologies, products and materials 3) Digitalization: Dynamic Digital Twins of both products and buildings,merging innovative manufacturing processes with BIM, and; 4) New market entrants, organized under novel business models, to allow for increased levels of collaboration and productivity.

ITeC ROLE

• Study and definition of technical and non-technical background (regulation, stakeholder requirements, market needs).
• Lead standardization activities, quality and risk management.
