About the project

ROBOCOAST supports manufacturing SMEs adopting AI, cybersecurity, and other key digital technologies to drive sustainable growth and global competitiveness in line with Industry 4.0. It provides one-stop access to EDIH services, RDI environments and resources, and a network of leading European digital experts—helping SMEs become more skilled, innovative, and competitive in the digital era.

The primary target group consists of SMEs in the the manufacturing industry, but we have served companies from all sectors in their growth journey as our services are meant as just-in-time support for the most pressing digitalization business needs of the present.

Project goal

Robocoast is a Finnish non-profit consortium.

The Robocoast EDIH, here looking to extend and improve its mission for a second term, is coordinated by Prizztech Oy in cooperation with a network of 14 university (plus 2 satellite units), and seven research and development entities:

Robocoast EDIH's mission has been, from its inception, to help companies looking to increase their digital competences, zero in on new business opportunities, and overall enhance their resilience, safety, and competitiveness on both European and global markets. We do so by offering access to a range of tools and services focused on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, robotics, Industry 5.0, and the development and testing of resilient energy infrastructure.
