Do you have the DIH² Factor?

DIH² believes in the power of robotics to transform the agility of manufacturing in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and drive economic growth across the European Union. Put simply, we aim to accelerate factories through robotics.

To facilitate this ambition, we now want to give selected start-ups access to Venture Capital Investors through the DIH² Factor in association with BLUMORPHO.
