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."

The project NaWaRo (Nachwachsende Rohstoffe = Renewable Primary Prducts) aimed at favourably using the very rural economic structure of Lower Austria by specifically considering renewable primary products for the set-up of thematic industrial clusters.
|

 |
The first challenge faced during the carrying out of the project was the need to convince actors from the manufacturing sector, the processing sector and the distribution to join efforts in long-term cooperations in order to create an extensive regional basis for product innovation.
For this purpose, during the first phase of the projects, companies in Lower Austria were identified which already use renewable primary products or which might be interested in extending or substituting their product range by means of material made of renewable primary products. The survey focused on companies already producing or marketing renewable primary products.
In a second step, the product ideas of these companies were examined with regard to their technological and commercial potential. On the basis of this potential evaluation the product ideas were then evaluated taking into account international comparison data and experience.
In a last step detailed realisation measures were elaborated in order to specifically support the implementation of particularly promising approaches in the scope of a further future project phase.
