1.1. About us: About us: the Association of Entrepreneurs of Reggio Emilia “Associazione Industriali di Reggio Emilia” represents approximately 700 manufacturing and service enterprises based in the province of Reggio Emilia (amounting to 38.000 employees).
• Founded in 1945, Industriali Reggio Emilia is a voluntary association of companies which aims to represent, protect, promote and develop member companies and their interests.
• It is the expression in the territory of Reggio Emilia of the Association of “Confindustria” (the Association of the Italian Entrepreneurs.
• It brings together various sectors, from electrical to mechanical (machines and equipment), food, textile, ceramic tiles, rubber and plastic, construction and real estate, services.
• The associated enterprises are mostly small and medium size enterprises (75% of them have from 1 to 50 employees).

Target
Development of INTELLIGENT MACHINE
1. High performance in every condition 2. Energy saving
3. High safety for the operator
Obtained by programming technologies
The device control is managedby an electronic component typically
embedded in the product itself.
Control means the ability to adapt to the different operating conditions.

3. The Cluster of MechatronicCluster of Mechatronic in Reggio Emilia as a model of synergic combination of mechanical, electronic and software engineering.
• Over the last few years, the mechatronic industry has been gaining importance in Reggio Emilia area, where mechanic has always played a key role in the economic history of the territory.
• Dating back to the agricultural mechanic at the beginning of the last century through the developments of the aeronautic industry between the First and Second world wars and the subsequent constant spin-off processes, Reggio Emilia’s mechatronic industry has now achieved a global leadership position and technological excellence in several fields of advanced mechanics and, more specifically, in mechatronic.
• Mechatronic is a territorial resource for the 65% of the companies that belong to the cluster. The companies can find suppliers in the area, confirming the idea of a kind of production based on a high ability to develop both design and industrial applications in conjunction with territorial closeness.
• The territorial milieu of the cluster has been enriched over the years by the start-up of a University of Engineering and in particular by the creation of a special Degree course and PhD in Mechatronics and also a Research and Technology transfer Center “REI - Reggio Emilia Innovazione”.
• Over the last 6 years local institutions have focused on the fostering and promotion of the cluster supporting the integration of provincial actions (Mectron Lab) to regional strategies for the development of high technologies and mechanics (Hi- Mech District).
