“Being coordinator of such a large and innovative project is an honor for Bonfiglioli, and also a sort of crowning of our path within the Horizon 2020 projects framework. We started in 2012 as simple partner in a funded project, then we participated in other projects, as partner, but also as Work Package Leader, and today, since 2019, we have the great chance to lead this consortium. I have to sincerely thank all our partners for their effective commitment that allowed us to deliver robust results even though the covid crisis created several problems in running this project.” says Francesco Millo Bonfiglioli ‘s Strategic Planning and M&A Director
