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."

Objectives of the project were:
 | To facilitate a better documentation of the policy decisions and the elaboration of solid measures enabling regions to be more innovative and competitive. At the same time this documentation can be used to transfer this expertise to other regions.
|
| To Create new innovative enterprises, support spin-off companies and develop start-ups. These policy objectives in particular are shared n many regions both the EU and worldwide.
|
PAXIS aspires to gather all these ideas and recommendations and through advanced networking and collaboration, make them prolific and accessible. The five Thematic Networks and their members are:
