The Polea Lab pilot project, as part of an industrial scaling and acceleration initiative (POLEA), aims to create an Industrial Exoskeleton / Cobots Lab and an Industrial 5G Lab, which will be used free of charge by companies in the Castille and Leon Region to generate prototypes and to test technological solutions.
DIHBU has just received official approval for the POLEA LAB project from the Regional Ministry of Industry, Trade and Employment of the Regional Government, with a funding of 488,400 euros, as a singular project. POLEA LAB also aims to place Burgos at the forefront of Industry 4.0 developments and to facilitate the creation of new industrial activities based on the scaling of proprietary technology prototypes.
The project’s Labs, pioneers in Spain, will be provisionally located in one of the buildings of the ITCL technology centre in Burgos, where initial work is already underway. Both infrastructures will be owned by DIHBU, which will have its own ecosystem of technological members to provide related services.
The infrastructures of the POLEA LAB project will be made available to companies in Castilla y León through free services to be run by the DIHBU until 30 October 2026, after which time it is intended to operate with the hub’s own resources, under service-based billing schemes.
The Burgos City Council showed DIHBU, from the initial gestation of the idea, its interest in hosting the project in one of the municipal buildings, so it is foreseeable that during the execution of the project, the Polea Lab infrastructures could be moved to a definitive location within the municipality.
