Continuous production improvement and innovation need to become a ‘natural’ attitude of European enterprises. European industrial system is characterized by a large majority of <strong>SMEs</strong> (small and medium enterprises), <strong>to innovate and compete they need to rally in business ecosystems and operate as networked, virtual enterprises</strong>. Rallying the forces is a must when SMEs address innovation, since individually they lack the necessary critical mass.The Bivee project – Business Innovation in Virtual Enterprise Environments – <strong>proposes an integrated Software Environment aimed at promoting and supporting production improvement and enterprise innovation for networked SMEs and virtual enterprises</strong>.The Bivee Environment includes advanced methods for <strong>boosting creativity and innovation with an open approach</strong>,for supporting their lean implementation, for monitoring the concrete outcomes, managing the innovation ventures in a collaborative networked industrial setting, for creating shared knowledge repositories, leveraging on the collective intelligence of the communities.Tools being developed by <strong>Bivee will model the existing environment, create a playground where ideas creation is encouraged, nurtured, and validated, providing also a testing ground to prove new ideas.</strong>Bivee has been funding by <strong>European Commission within the Seventh Framework Programme</strong> (FP7) and among the theme <strong>FoF-ICT-2011.7.3 </strong>(Virtual Factories and enterprises); Grant agreement <strong>no: 285746</strong>.</p><br />For more information about BIVEE, please visit the <a href="http://bivee.eu/">project website</a>...<br /><strong> </strong>Mehmet Albayrak2014-09-24T12:22:51Z
