DRWO4.0 Danube Region Wood Industry Transformation Model towards Industry 4.0

Acronym: DRWO 4.0

DRWO4.0 objective is the improvement of Danube Region forest-based industry through the I4.0 transformation – transnational development of the applicable, modifiable and replicable forest-based I4.0 transformation model (SO4, Output 4.1&4.2; Result 1) as a solution for the DR forestbased industry improvement according to the I4.0 standards.

The project aims to foster the transformation of the forest-based industry within the Danube Region towards Industry 4.0 (I4.0) standards. This involves the development of an action plan, the establishment of pilot environments, capacity building, and the creation of a transformation model for the forest-based industry. The project seeks to engage various stakeholders from local, regional, and national levels across the Danube Region to ensure comprehensive and effective implementation.
