The primary objectives of this project were to :
 | Create an Innovation and technology transfer infrastructure for the region.
|
| Identify industry’s key technologies where TT will have most impact.
|
| Create a positive environment for SMEs and start ups to develop.
|
| Establish stronger links with EU partners and exchange experiences with partner regions.
|
The study was funded by the DG Enterprise Regional Innovation and Technology Transfer Initiative
The mission to secure the objectives was divided into three main phases.
| The first phase focussed on creating the necessary consensus amongst regional actors to ensure that the resulting regional strategy would be supported and implemented.
|
| The second phase focused on surveying the needs of regional SMEs and mapping out the technology and research resources in the region, the TT providers and identifying the gaps between supply and demand. Initial policy recommendations were developed and best practice policies reviewed in other EU regions.
|
| The final phase consisted of preparing a regional strategy and implementing “pilot projects” identified by project partners during the mission.
|
Throughout the project a range of dissemination activities and conferences were organised to ensure a broadly based ownership of the resulting strategy.
