Abstract: The MANUSQUARE project aims to deploy a European Platform-enabled marketplace fostering a dynamic establishment of value networks, enabling the matching of the availability and demand of manufacturing capacities and thus rendering an Industry’s optimal utilization of unused installed capacities, that would be otherwise remain unutilized. To fully achieve the Manufacturing-as-a-Service paradigm, a new platform-enabled market place will be developed, aggregating adequate tools, services and information resources that enable the matching and establishment of business relationships between industry’s stakeholders. The project will therefore create a B2B ecosystem with safe data transactions and highly traceable supply networks, that supports:

• A sustainable matching between supply and demand of manufacturing capacity, knowledge, technologies and by-products;
• The access to unexploited market opportunities;
• The full exploitation of local capacities, complementarities and (unused) potential;
• The dynamic integration of companies in new value networks.
