Knowledge Economy Network - KEN
Knowledge Economy Network (KEN) has evolved from the European Regional Economic Forum (EREF), which started its activities in 2005 with an annual Forum organised in Nova Gorica, Slovenia. It grew into an informal network of 16 European regions and countries, interested in boosting their knowledge-based competitiveness, exchanging good practice, encouraging collaboration and implementing new knowledge into innovative products. Also, the Network facilitated active dialogue between policy makers and the Triple Helix stakeholders. Finally, it supported better utilization of European Union funds for innovative projects. End of 2010 KEN was established and is now registered in Brussels as a non-profit association. This is our response to a larger, global need to enhance and support efforts to build knowledge economy, not only at European, but at truly international level. Europe still has many assets to improve its competitiveness, but has become a different global player and needs to learn more from other dynamic economies.

Podjetje Robotina d.o.o. je bilo ustanovljeno leta 1990 in kot svojo osnovno dejavnost opredelilo avtomatizacijo proizvodnih procesov. Že leta 1991 je podjetje dognalo, da je popolna ponudba kvalitetne opreme na domačem trgu bistvenega pomena in po temeljiti analizi je bila sprejeta odločitev za vstop v strateško partnerstvo z nekaterimi izmed vodilnih svetovnih ponudnikov tehnologij za nadzor. Po prvem desetletnem obdobju je obseg poslovanja pripeljal do reorganizacije podjetja. Leta 2000 so bili vzpostavljeni neodvisni oddelki, kot so proizvodnja strojev, upravljanje stavb, nadzor proizvodnih procesov v industriji, projektiva in prodajni oddelek. Robotina ne ponuja le izdelkov, temveč tudi storitve in s tem celovite rešitve. Avtomatizaciji proizvodnje se je z leti pridružila avtomatizacija procesov v kovinsko- predelovalni industriji, tekstilni industriji, transportu in v številnih drugih vejah industrije, vključno z aplikacijami na področju varnostnih sistemov in energetike. MES in industrijske IT rešitve smiselno dopolnjujejo ponudbo podjetja.Z nadaljnjim razvojem na področju tehnologije in organizacije je Robotina postala vodilni ponudnik na področju tehnologij nadzora sončnih elektrarn, trajnostnih stavb, sistemov obnovljivih virov energije in industrijske avtomatizacije. Razvila je več blagovnih znamk, vključno s Smart Green znamko, ki označuje najsodobnejše tehnologije kontrolnih sistemov za zelene rešitve.
