The SURE 5.0 PROJECT – ACCELERATION PROGRAMME 1 for European SMEs

The economic crisis caused by the pandemic has led to supply chain problems and strong inflationary pressure, demonstrating the fragility of traditional economic sectors, especially in the manufacturing industry. This turbulent environment urges companies, especially SMEs, to adapt and transform themselves permanently, so they can enhance their competitive advantage in the future.

In this context, 11 European partners joined forces to launch the SURE5.0 project “Supporting the smes SUstainaibility and REsilience transition towards industry 5.0 in the mobility, transport & automotive, aerospace and electronics European ecosystems”, funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme.

The SURE5.0 project aims to support European SMEs working on these industrial ecosystems, to advance in their digital transformation process while becoming more human-centric, sustainable and resilient.

SMEs could benefit from:

• 5.0 assessment reports
• Open webinars
• Individual roadmaps
• Tailored services
• Networking and peer-learning events
• Financial support for their 5.0 projects

The project expects to involve around 1,000 SMEs in the project activities, of which 700 will be assessed, 90 will be provided with tailored services from partners and 53 will receive financial support.

SURE 5.0 is a project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme, which aims to support SMEs from the Civil Transportation (MTA and aerospace & defence) and Electronics ecosystems, to integrate in their manufacturing processes the industry 5.0 principles, in order to become more human-centric, sustainable and resilient.
