In regions where the industrial context is traditionally orientated towards declining sectors like coal, steel, agriculture, fishing or armaments, it is necessary to aid development, competitiveness and sustainability for SMEs. In this framework, the PREMI project proposes to supply the enterprises of the Atlantic Area with aid in terms of technology and infrastructure to allow them to make the necessary adaptations. The development of a partnership orientated to innovatory technologies will make it possible to create an international network of local centres specialised in research, innovation and technological transfer. This network will contribute to promoting and developing a new industrial sector based on the creation and exploitation of a high level of knowledge, especially in the fields of recycling, miniaturisation and the reduction of waste.
