Our partner DIHBU, member of DIGIS3, offers a unique opportunity to development companies, startups and knowledge centres, participating in the selection process to show their technological solutions linked to Industry 4.0, through a free stand for technology exhibition, at the Burgos Industry 4.0 Technology Meeting 2022, which has national visibility.

The update of the Rules of Procedure will be applicable to upcoming calls for proposals. It includes new considerations of the eligibility of solutions and types of beneficiaries (such as civil societies), redefinition of deadlines and more types of electronic signature for processing.
