Ellen Pedersen, ex-Project Manager TACIS, currently manager of the EU export promotion programmes to Japan:
"inno engaged with the European Commission in the process of modernising the naukograds (Scientific Cities) in the Russian Federation. The project team made all the difference in that process, and results emerged in each naukograd. A sound regional Innovation Strategy (the first of its kind in Russia) was approved and implementation started, commercialisation activities from scientific centres took place with concrete return on investments, and related benefits.
A successful project depends on people, ideas, and political will."

|
The South Great Plains region was one of the first NAC regions to apply for this programme and to secure funding to promote innovation and technology development amongst the region’s SMEs and research organisations.
|
|
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.
