CCG/ZGDV plays a decisive role within PRODUTECH DIH, positioning itself as a key facilitator in the digital transition of the manufacturing industry by enabling SMEs to test, validate and refine technological solutions before investing. By creating experimental environments, developing assessment methodologies, and demonstrating emerging technologies, CCG/ZGDV reduces innovation risk and turns digital adoption into a safer, more informed, and results-oriented process.

The mission of PRODUTECH DIH is to promote the digitalisation of the manufacturing industry, with a particular focus on production technologies as a strategic lever for business competitiveness. Within this consortium, CCG/ZGDV is responsible for developing activities to validate technological prototypes prior to their deployment in industrial environments.
