The Commission called for applications to a new wave of innovation centers under the term Regional Digital Manufacturing Innovation Hubs. One of the successful applications was an initiative from Greece, called Region of Western Greece Collaborates (RWG-Collaborates). It consists of a consortium led by the Laboratory of Manufacturing Systems (LMS) which is part of the University of Patras. As part of the RDMI Initiative, LMS took part in the kick off meeting in The Hague initialising their work on creating a business concept for a hub that offers services to small and medium sized enterprises.
