WP 2020 – SMEs Involvment in Lombardy Small and Medium Enterprises In Europe, there are three broad parameters which define SMEs: micro-entities (companies with up to 10 employees) small companies (up to 50 workers) medium-sized enterprises (up to 250 employees) Moreover the annual turnover is not exceeding 50 million euro, and/or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding 43 million euro.
WP 2020 – SMEs Involvment in Lombardy Object Carrying out of an RF facility and built of a staff with RF skills (design, engineering, testing, reporting). What have been done identification of SMEs located in Lombardy and, more generally, on Italy visit to the Tecnolambro premises in Miradolo Terme (PV)
WP 2020 – SMEs Involvment in Lombardy What to do Inauguration of the facility (INAF MI, OAC, INAF BO, ARCETRI, POLI- TO, Officina Dipartimento di Fisica UNIMI, POLIMI) point out the synergy (ability to realize the DUT to be tested in the RF facility) extend the participation to the inauguration to ESOC (Piermario Besso) and ESTEC (Luca Salghetti Drioli) Workshop with SMEs
