What is OpenLab neotex 4.0
OpenLab neotex 4.0 is an open laboratory that provides access to digital manufacturing technologies and prototyping machines for students, researchers, industrialists and entrepreneurs to implement innovative projects related to the transition towards an Industry 4.0.
OpenLab neotex 4.0 is part of the services provided by neotex 4.0 center managed by the Monastir-El Fejja Competitiveness Pole (MFCPOLE). It is also a part of the OpenLab network – a global network of open labs – and is a member of the international Fab Lab Association.
OpenLab neotex 4.0 is created due to the synergy between PISWI project and neotex 4.0 center.
PISWI project is a collaborative project coordinated by Helmut Schmidt University (HSU) in partnership with National Engineering School of Tunis (ENIT), National Engineering School of Monastir (ENIM), Higher Institute of Technological Studies of Ksar Hellal (ISET KH) and MFCPOLE. It aims to develop, implement, and disseminate Open Labs as spaces for experiential technological learning. It focuses on creating hardware products and innovations based on Open Source Appropriate Technology (OSAT), actively contributing to the development of an infrastructure for open manufacturing in Tunisia.
neotex 4.0 center is part of the National Initiative “Towards an Industry 4.0 in Tunisia” launched by the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy with the support of the European Union and the Special Initiative «Decent Work for a Just Transition» –Invest for Jobs, mandated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ Tunisia.
