An integral part of France Robots Initiatives announced in March 2013 by the Minister for Productive Redress, the ROBOT Start PME project is led by Symop, Syndicat des Entreprises de Technologies de Production, with support from Cetim and Cea List.
The aim is to help 250 SMEs introduce their first robot. To this end, experts will help the company manager define his robotics project and draw up the specifications for consultation. Once the project has been accepted by a steering committee, these same experts will help the company to choose an integrator and prepare to set up the robotic cell.

- proven experience in process automation/robotization in SMEs;
- great listening skills to help the entrepreneur define and implement his project;
