Online tool
Text I-CON Partners Developed the “I-CON Atlas Mapping Tool” (AMP), an online tool to provide users with all relevant information to leverage joint cooperation possibilities and to investigate food sector specific areas of mechatronics, food safety and geographic areas by selecting the data mapped from the menu.
AMT provides a visual depiction (geographic data) of joint possibilities (RIS 3 supporting measures) and solutions providers (technology, design and food safety) enabling regional SMEs to access the resources and opportunities necessary to meet their needs and reach the advancing knowledge.
