In recent years, evolution of mechanics and related sectors determined a strong push to manufacturing wide range diversification, trying to follow or anticipate extremely variable markets and demand pull by means of adaptive and flexible industrial solutions. In the last decades Piemonte has developed high level competences extremely diversified, which are often the basis for world class excellences in specific sectors or highly skilled niches.

The projects are proposed by firms, but they are coherent with the framework defined by Mesap. Projects generation is strongly supported by a series of original methods and tools, which also enable Partners aggregation. • mechanical elements • machines • precision machines intellectual property rights management transfer to market Approach: MECHANICS fast innovation STEP3 - Evaluation and value adding for MESAP R&D projects output Source MESAP - ICM International Collaborative: every Mesap project is collaborative. Each project involves different kind of participant: SME, large firms, University/Research Center. Average dimension is about 5 participants for each project. Source MESAP - ICM International 50/50 funding: projects’ funding is equally split between private and public entities. 50% of the project is founded by Regione Piemonte while the other 50% is divided into participants (in different proportion).
