Additional information

ágora DIH is built on a previous existing DIH from Murcia called Innovation for Manufacturing in the South (I4MSOUTH), running from 2016, and on a participatory process, where in April 2019 the relevant actors of the innovation ecosystem of the Murcia Region were consulted in order to build a feasibility study to point out the lines of work on which it should focus. This was done in order to be fully aligned with the regional innovation ecosystem and guarantee its membership and sustainability in the medium and long term. To this end, the particularities of the regional production system were analysed, and in particular the relevance of activities linked to the sectors and activities identified in the RIS3Mur. This participatory process had, on the one hand, the involvement of the different relevant actors of the innovation system in Murcia, to ensure that the technological offer was aligned with its actual capacities, and on the other hand, an analysis of the potential demand of the different technologies that could be dealt through the EDIH.
