Challenge
GOGOA, a Basque SME in the robotic solutions development sector, starts a line of development of industrial exoskeletons through its spin-off CYBER HUMAN SYSTEMS, being the only manufacturer in Spain with its own technology. It is initially contacted by DIHBU to know its potential to solve a demand for exoskeletons in the industrial sector. After this first contact, the SME was evaluated since it expressed its need for support to make itself known and locate partners in other regions, with the aim of reaching technical cooperation agreements in projects and commercial distribution agreements for its exoskeletons.
Challenge solution / Results
DIHBU studied the demand for GOGOA partners, promoted it in different forums, and searched the ecosystem for companies that could respond to the profile sought, providing accurate information to the SME, and initiating negotiations with several companies. Finally, it made contact with OLPE INGENIERÍA, with whom it signed the desired collaboration agreement.
The tools used by DIHBU were:
- Direct search for SMEs in the local DIGIS3 ecosystem.
- Publication of demand profile in Matchmaking Industry 4.0 2024, identifying new potential partners and gaining visibility.
The results obtained were:
- Signing of a collaboration agreement between GOGOA and CYBER-HUMAN SYSTEMS with OLPE Ingeniería, by which OLPE INGENIERÍA becomes their main partner in Castilla y León, and one of their partners in Spain, starting the distribution of their industrial exoskeletons successfully. As a result of this agreement, both companies, among other operations, are currently cooperating in an innovation project.
- Presentation of the case in the special EDIHs session of the Industry 4.0 2024 Technology Meeting.
- Presence of both companies at Advanced Factories 2024 Barcelona.
