On January 9, 2025, we organized the second working meeting of the group for preparing the basis for the operation of the pilot environment west (PE West), which connects partners from Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovenia, as well as associated Germany. In addition to PE West, PE East and PE South are also being prepared.

The primary objective of the PEs establishment is to create functional, cross-border, interdisciplinary collaboration hubs for diverse stakeholders which will serve as platforms to support the transformation of the forest-based industry toward I4.0.

The opening event, where we will launch all three PEs, will be held on February 4, 2025 in Pécs, Hungary. The event will be hosted by the Cultural Creative Industries Cluster.
