You can also find information regarding the funding opportunities and the national funding contact details.
Impact stories with German participation
Impact is one of the main ambitions in ITEA. Impact on business, on the market, on society. This is a key value in ITEA, and impact and potential impact are central during the project lifecycle: in project evaluation, monitoring, closure and in communication of the results. With the (financial) support of national Public Authorities, many ITEA projects have achieved incredible results, which are gathered in ITEA Impact stories.



OPTIMUM Impact story
13 December 2024In today’s factories, machines such as cranes are typically operated manually using heterogeneous hardware. These are usually not interoperable and diverse control environments are used; static machine configurations also make evolution hard to achieve. OPTIMUM enabled machines of different kinds and from different manufacturers to communicate with each other and their operators, improving the safety of workers and equipment. This was ground-breaking because previously only machines from the same manufacturer could communicate with each other at a reasonable cost and engineering effort.

COMPACT Impact story
13 December 2024From industrial automation to healthcare, Internet of Things (IoT) has impacted nearly every aspect of our lives. However, the cost pressure of making IoT devices as smart, cheap and energy efficient as possible affects both manufacturing and design costs, with software design accounting for around 45% of the overall System-on-Chip development effort. Fast and efficient software development is thus a key enabler of future growth within the IoT domain. The ITEA project COMPACT brought together 15 partners from Austria, Finland, and Germany to address these challenges.

EMPHYSIS Impact story
04 October 2024In the realm of developing new functionalities, engineers often discover that their profound understanding of the physics governing their products falls short when it comes to crafting functions for embedded targets. While this might result in a never-to-be-realised excellent initial idea of operating and controlling their product in a much smarter way, at the same time it reveals the need for a link between the digital simulation of real-world physics and embedded software leveraging on such physics models. EMPHYSIS established a new open standard - eFMI® - laying the foundation to develop innovative tools, facilitating the realisation of model-based functions directly in embedded software with improved code efficiency.

Thanks to ITEA, Siemens has a faster and steeper learning curve in new topics. It provides good means for collaboration within a consortium of experts, customers and suppliers covering the full value chain. Finally, ITEA adds to the visibility and the creation of an innovative image in R&D Community.

Thanks to participation in the ITEA SAFE project, Continental established the ISO 26262 compliance in two major domains, namely the safety critical domains of powertrains and chassis brake systems. These domains represent 40% of Continental’s product share and thanks to the SAFE project, Continental was able to keep its leading role in these domains.
