It aims to strengthen the exchanges between companies and universities, and, at the same time, to promote collaborations between its members for the purpose of a synergic approach to the market. Finally, to sum up, the Club intends to spread technical culture and mechatronic technology solutions in various areas. It represents the interests of its members and promotes the competences of the Reggio Emilia mechatronic companies on a national and international level.
