Lars Högdahl Chairman of the Regional Growth Committee, Swedish Ministry of Industry:
"inno assisted the Regional Growth Committee in its task aiming to strengthen long-term economic development in exposed labour-market regions in parts of mid-central Sweden. The strategy of inno combining competence mapping with foresight methodology successfully enabled the region to find new areas of development. The most exciting result of inno´s work was the initiation of co-operations disregarding from geographically administrative boarders and traditional sector definitions."

FP6 Project aiming at structuring and reinforcing the European research area with the objective of increasing the involvement of European SMEs from the life science and health sector in EU RTD projects.
|
|
The project aimed at increasing the number of SMEs involved in the LSH (life, science, health) activities of the FP6 and to analyse the barriers and constraints that hinder SMEs to participate. This analysis resulted in policy recommendations for EU policy makers.
The project focused on SMEs working in the field of biotechnologies related to human health which were still experiencing their incubation phase or their first year(s) of activities. The objective was to birng these companies to co-operate closely with research organisations and higher education institutes in order to be able to participate in networks of excellence or integrated projects – very often based on research. Larger and more mature companies working in the same field were not relevant for the scope of the project as they are supposed to have more means and competences to participate in such programmes without such support.
To reach these objective, inno – together with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Essonne and the Genopole Evry bio cluster – built a consortium gathering two incubators from Berlin, one from Stockholm, one from Barcelona, one from Israel and one from Tallinn. The work programme consisted of auditing 170 SMEs and contacting 40 IPs/NoEs, to cross-match them, build new projects in the FP6 and prepare policy recommendations for facilitating the involvement of new biotech SMEs in the FP6. Several workshops and conferences were organised to facilitate the dissemination of results and exchanges on policy recommendations. The project aims to continue in the FP7 by building new projects and cooperation platforms.
