“…The systemic perspective adopted promotes territorial innovative culture [1][2][3] and technology diffusion in small and medium-sized enterprises [4], emphasizing public policies as tools to "govern" innovation processes and the competitive revitalization of national economies. In this sense, Europe is strategically targeting the diffusion of smart factories [5,6], characterizing them on three main technical-organizational functions: integration between physical and human resources through digital technologies and robotics; integration between companies and between companies and external networks through information technologies; and the use of innovative sustainable strategies to reduce energy consumption and waste [7].…”

Innovation 4.0 is a strategic lever of industrial policies. That is the reason why, over the last decade, many European countries have introduced national plans to implement it in their economic fabric. Within this context, this paper focuses on the effects of Industry 4.0 policies in Italy and Europe by presenting the results of a research study on the national and continental ecosystems of innovation. In particular, the study was conducted by involving the main key bodies introduced by the “Transition 4.0” plan in Italy: Competence Centers (CCs), Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs), and Punti Impresa Digitale (PID). The study adopted a qualitative–quantitative approach: an analysis of gray literature, semi-structured interviews, and a survey involving Italian and European DIHs were carried out. The results highlight an ambivalent scenario: on the one hand, the research suggests that the consolidation of the ecosystems of innovation is underway in Italy and relies on good organizational capacity; on the other hand, the international comparison indicates that the Italian system still suffers from a marked territorial and institutional fragmentation that needs to be addressed in the coming years.
