At the heart of the Made in Italy Circular and Sustainable (MICS) project, Italtel is advancing with determination and passion, driving cutting-edge research initiatives and building an extensive network of collaborations with universities, research centers, and industry partners. This three-year, fully Italian project, funded by the Ministry of University and Research, aims to transform the Made in Italy sector by focusing on three critical areas: Fashion, Furniture, and Automation. MICS’ goal is to accelerate the transition to sustainability by integrating innovation and environmental responsibility.
The MICS Ecosystem: A Team of Excellence for a Sustainable Future
The MICS project unfolds within a dynamic ecosystem rich in expertise, bringing together top universities and research centers such as the National Research Council (CNR), Politecnico di Milano, University of Bologna, and University of Florence, which contribute their knowledge in innovation and sustainability. Alongside these academic partners, leading companies like Italtel, Leonardo, Brembo, and SACMI play a pivotal role in transferring technology and implementing practical solutions, reinforcing the competitiveness of Made in Italy in vital sectors such as fashion, furniture, and mechanical automation.
The Thematic Areas of the MICS Project: Italtel at the Heart of Sustainable Innovation
The MICS project is structured into eight research thematic areas, or “SPOKES,” each focusing on specific aspects of sustainable innovation. Thanks to its expertise in advanced digital solutions, Italtel makes a key contribution to several of these areas:
- SPOKE 1: Sustainable and digital design, where Italtel contributes technologies for resource optimization.
- SPOKE 5: Product lifecycle management with innovative circular models, where Italtel participates through traceability technologies.
- SPOKE 6: Smart manufacturing, where Italtel contributes with solutions for optimizing connected factories.
- SPOKE 8: Digital circular economy, applying Italtel’s digital systems for sustainable management, where the company brings its expertise in supply chain and complex project management.
This structure allows the entire production chain to be addressed in an integrated way, creating practical and scalable solutions for businesses. Italtel’s experience in advanced digital technologies is a crucial asset in this journey, enabling the integration of sustainability at every stage of the production chain, promoting both sustainable and competitive growth.
