| Sumario: | The adoption of 4.0 technologies in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) does not simply imply automating already established manufacturing routines but managing and configuring innovation processes. In turn, the technological innovations related to the dissemination of these technologies do not necessarily come from the R&D laboratories of the capital goods industry, but are generally originated by developments made by companies in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector, which often lack specific knowledge of the needs and specificities of production and processes of other productive sectors. In this context, the work questions the role of Technology Centers (TCs) as facilitators in promoting 4.0 technologies in SMEs and the role of the State in promoting these processes. It explores some international experiences, such as the case of Tecnalia and READI in Spain and the TC Network of the Association of Metallurgical Industrialists of the Argentine Republic (ADIMRA), considering the similarities and differences that both networks present based on the types of mechanisms used to promote 4.0 technologies to provide services to the target SMEs. |
