MESAP Internationalization activities
MESAP is partner of the E2DRIVER project
E2DRIVER is a project dedicated to training on energy audits in the automotive sector. The project aims to develop an energy efficiency training platform dedicated to SMEs to make them aware of the multiple benefits of carrying out accurate energy audits, providing them with the necessary skills and information to implement their recommendations.
MESAP has identified 3 Italian pilot companies that will receive free training from a team of experts in order to develop concrete actions to achieve tangible energy, economic and environmental savings.

Project 5E – Towards the definition of a Joint Vision in the electronic domain
5E is a project that supports the European electronics industry in identifying opportunities for federating electronic ecosystems in nanoelectronics, flexible & wearable electronics and electronic smart systems.
The project will develop a Joint Vision based on the identification of cross-fertilization and collaboration activities between the three electronic ecosystems involved. In order to identify the most relevant opportunities, more than 150 experts, coming from the 3 electronic areas, have been currently involved in the project and cross-fertilization activities – such as surveys and workshops – have been launched, leading to the definition of 10 opportunities, defined Grey Spots by the project.

DIA is over! Here is what has happened in these 2 years
DIA – European Digital Industry Alliance represents a COSME initiative created in 2017 to develop an internationalisation strategy for SMEs focused on the Digital Industry. During the project a sample of companies belonging to the 6 clusters involved were interviewed to understand the degree of digitization and analyze their difficulties in this transition phase. In itinere we proceeded with benchmarking activities that identified in the USA, China and Brazil the target countries where to exchange technologies and products of Made In Europe companies (global megatrends in the ICT), to which Morocco and Mexico were added.
DIA2, currently under evaluation, aims to translate into concrete actions the will of the companies identified in these first 2 years of the Alliance.
