AIM Cluster
Vinnytsia Automation and Instrument Making Cluster
independent business association of companies and organizations with competences in the development, design and manufacture of devices and systems for automation / digitalization of production and business processes in the energy, agri-food, municipal, medical, cartographic, transport spheres. Business leaders understand the benefits of joint activities, the role of institutions and the need to comply with common rules of interaction
Initiative
The initiative to create the cluster belongs to the NGO "Institute for Socialization of Innovation", which has ten years of experience in building innovation ecosystems. The initiators were aware that the creation of a top-down cluster - from the registration of a cluster organization to the formation of common value chains - is a long and complex process. But the importance of the goal did not stop them.
We focus on the needs of our and interdependent industries and through the implementation of innovative projects we build common value chains that connect industries, sectors and areas of activity and strengthen the competitiveness of their participants
Background
In the early 90's of XX century. instrument making was the titular branch of the Vinnytsia region: 8 plants of national importance were concentrated here. One third of the population of the regional center worked at these plants and a wide range of instrument-making products was produced - element base, information input-output devices, power electronics, specialized information systems. The intellectual resource formed then has been preserved and should be used to rebuild the industry on a new technological and human basis
AIM Cluster
We understand the cluster as a regional ecosystem of related industries and competencies, which has a wide range of intersectoral interdependencies. Intersectoral relationships are the basis for the development of industries and the condition of competitiveness. The spheres of instrument making, automation, and engineering are cross-cutting and a priority for other industries. Thus, our sectoral affiliation leads to partnerships with companies in the engineering, food, energy and other industries
Mission
AIM Cluster seeks to shape and develop the innovation ecosystem to produce a new generation of professionals who create breakthrough technologies aimed at the systemic development of the region
Goal
Creation of a new regional industry based on accelerating the development of the sectors of instrumentation, engineering and automation with the participation of industrial, research and production and engineering companies and organizations of related sectors and industries
Vision
The cluster consolidates the best developers to create advanced technologies and transfer knowledge to a new generation of professionals and is a leader in the development of the innovation ecosystem in the region
The cluster strengthens the competitive advantages of participants - production, research, educational and service organizations that develop technologies of Industry 4.0+
The foundation of cluster interaction is a new quality of relations - trust, mutual respect, common values and adherence to balanced communication, research and production policies
Task
Organization of interaction between cluster members, coordination of joint research and production projects
Implementation of joint projects for the creation and development of innovation, engineering, industrial, educational infrastructure of the industrial cluster
Expanding the "circle" of partners
Support for talented researchers and entrepreneurs at all stages of product creation and implementation
Cluster members
The high level of professionalism and competence of the cluster members, in conditions of mutual respect and trust, will increase the effectiveness of communication, research and production policies, which helps to overcome the shortage of qualified personnel to create breakthrough innovations
Our partners
We are open to partners who are competent and knowledgeable about advanced technologies in priority areas of development and effective technical and managerial solutions. We achieve effective results with partners regardless of their membership in the cluster, subject to the principles of mutual responsibility, transparency and trust.
The basis of the partnership's effectiveness is the convergence of high-tech sectors with other industries
Our partners: APPAU, Kharkiv cluster IAM, Zaporizhzhya cluster IAM, Vasyl Stus DonNU, Cluster "Energy Pool", Sustainable Development Agency "ASTAR", Union of Entrepreneurs "Styuzny Center , East Ukrainian Technocluster
