With the help of research and analyses, the current training offer will be examined: a Delphi survey and expert discussions will show influences of digitalisation on the skilled crafts sector, visits to skilled crafts enterprises and workshops in and with enterprises will provide insights into the reality of the skilled crafts sector. Based on the results, an attempt will be made to develop a digitalisation strategy to support the companies in their innovation activities. The project aims to create a basic understanding of the future development of skilled crafts occupations, but also to show concretely how skilled craftsmen and women can qualify for the digital working world of the future.

"In this way, we would like to achieve that skilled crafts enterprises actively participate in the shaping of Crafts 4.0 in their companies in the future," underlines lvh President Martin Haller. The lvh - Wirtschaftsverband Handwerk und Dienstleister, the Center for Advanced Studies of Eurac Research, Confartigianato Vicenza, t2i - Trasferimento tecnologico e innovazione from Treviso and ITG- Innovationsservice für Salzburg are involved in the project. The FuturCRAFT project is supported by the European Regional Development Fund and Interreg V-A Italy-Austria 2014-2020.
