Completed European projects
RESIST Euroclusters
Launched by 5 European clusters, the Euroclusters RESIST project was to support the automotive, transport and mobility ecosystem: help SMEs in their green and digital transition process, and increase their level of resilience in the face of future challenges.
SMEs have benefited from access to key information and studies focusing on the analysis of future challenges, opportunities, needs, etc., as well as meetings with partners from other ecosystems. It has enabled €1 million in cascade funding to be mobilized for companies ; and was coordinated by the Pôle Véhicule du Futur.
e-SMART project
e-SMART stands for e-mobility SMART grid for passengers and last mile freight transport in the Alpine Space.
Objective: to define a set of operational tools to plan and roll out charging networks for the electrification of public passenger transport and last mile logistics, based on a "smart grid" approach.
The cluster's role
Our cluster is in charge of the "Smart Living lab" work package, which aims to set up a transnational network of regional hubs to identify and disseminate good practices on the dual issues of electric mobility and smart grids.
PAE project
The PAE European automotive cluster project is intended to give a new impetus to the automotive industry in the Greater Region.
The cluster's role
Our cluster is in charge of communication on the project, including the organisation of the Forum and the related webinars.
EACN project
The EACN project for Joint Industrial Modernisation Investments was initiated in 2018 by six European partners, including Vehicle of the Future cluster. The aim is to initiate and stimulate cooperation between the clusters and their members (collaborative R&D projects, joint investments or other business opportunities).
This project has been approved as a "ESCP-S3 - European Strategic Cluster Partnership for smart specialisation investments".
e-MOTICON project
e-MOTICON stands for e-MObility Transnational strategy for an Interoperable COmmunity and Networking in the Alpine Space. Promotion of electric mobility with a transnational approach within the Alpine Space.
