cloudSME Project• Funded by the European Commission FP7 programme –
Factories of the Future initiative• Duration time: July 2013 – March 2016• EUR 4.5 million overall funding• Coordinated by the University of Westminster• 16 initial project partners – including 12 SMEs• 13 new partners (12 SMEs) joined in January 2015 as
result of an Open Call• Focus: foster the uptake of simulation software especially
among small and medium-sized enterprises by offering software as a Service (SaaS) on a scalable platform.
• Founded as a company in January 2016
