Digital transformation is one of the hot topics in the European Commission’s agenda. The EU defines that digital transformation is characterised by a fusion of advanced technologies and the integration of physical and digital systems, the predominance of innovative business models and new processes, and the creation of smart products and services . In this respect, it is obvious that digital transformation is very important for the growth of all industries and one of them is manufacturing industry. Leyla Arsan, CEO of TAGES, was invited to “Machine’s Agenda” Radio Programme of the ST SMEs’ Radio Channel (105.8) in Turkey which is presented by Arif Onur Kaçak, the General Secretary of AIMSAD to talk about the funding systems and opportunities for machinery manufacturing industry to develop innovative projects on digital transformation.
