TEST BEDS, DIH, AND ZLT
ANI plays a key role in promoting and supporting Test Beds, Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH), and Free Technological Zones (ZLT) in Portugal, facilitating innovation and the digital transformation of companies. These environments are essential for the experimentation, validation, and adoption of new technologies, contributing to the country’s competitiveness and technological development.
ENTERPRISES 4.0 – TESTING AND EXPERIMENTATION FACILITIES | TEST BEDS
Test Beds are infrastructures and equipment that provide testing and experimentation services for products and services of SMEs and Startups, either in physical or virtual space. Test Beds aim to increase the number of commercially viable product pilots, shortening their innovation cycle, particularly in the transition from laboratory validation (Technology Readiness Level: TRL 4) to commercialization phase (TRL 9).
ENTERPRISES 4.0 – DIGITAL INNOVATION HUBS | DIH
Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) are structures aimed at centralizing a range of services to support the digital transition of companies, offering more accessible conditions and focusing this process on three disruptive technologies: AI, HPC, and Cybersecurity.
FREE TECHNOLOGICAL ZONES
ZLT – The new “regulatory sandboxes,” “innovation spaces,” “experimentation spaces,” or “living labs.”
