Description
Company ETA Cerkno as member of international EGO group is one of the biggest (with some product ranges the biggest) world producer of heating and
control components for white goods industry.
Support of research institutions is needed for:
- supporting existing products and production technologies
- source of ideas for new product development
ETA should have 'on the site' basic existing product competences included staff and equipment. Around core in ETA should be built loosely coupled network
of research institutions (‘Virtual institute’) supporting ETA with special knowledge, special equipment and ideas coming from regular research
activities. IJS showed necessary readiness for such idea and activities in this sense are running.
