Automate Irish
Manufacturing (AIM)
Initiative
The Automate Irish Manufacturing (AIM) Initiative is designed
to increase Ireland’s maturity in Robotics & Advanced
Automation.

It seeks to achieve this by increasing Irish Manufacturers’
engagement at all levels of their organisation with state of the
art & next generation Robotics research, forward looking peers
& technology providers to give Irish Manufacturers a
mid-to-long term view on how these technologies can impact
their operations.

AIM is a blend of an online Platform & face-to-face services
providing the optimal combination of ease of use and
effectiveness and allowing each organisation of find the mix
that is right for them.

CIRCULÉIRE: National Platform for Circular Manufacturing
Vision:
• Industry led €4.5 million public-private partnership to accelerate
