However, the situation is changing, and in the era of Industry 4.0, industrial giants take the lead in the application of end-to-end technologies. This is the third industry program to support high-tech companies, on which we are working together with I-Teco Innovation Center. The success of previous projects shows that we have chosen the right approach: to create the most comfortable conditions for the implementation of the innovative strategy of the customer and to act as a guarantor of quality at the expense of available resources and experience. This form of collaboration helps you fully implement the massive, ambitious solutions your customers need. "

The program will include three qualifying rounds: from March to May, from June to August and from September to November - for the selection of participants in various areas. The main criterion is that the project should relate to the field of scalable IT-development for the industry based on end-to-end technologies. This includes such areas as:
