Getting Regional Smart Specialisation Strategies closer to business

Dear Reader,The partner organisations of the “EmpInno” project are working at full throttle to make innovation happen in their cities and regions.

They carry out local R+D transfer workshops based upon transnational exchange, empower their SMEs with overarching topics such as internationalisation promotion or prepare transnational matchmaking possibilities.

Our 15 project partners finalise each a specific approach to enhance their internal capacity to work with the regional smart specialisation strategies. These products in turn are good examples for other organisations to better implement the RIS3. Our partners also get even closer to the other actors in their regional innovation systems and intensify the discussion how to cooperate better for mutual benefit.

You see: Half a year before the final conference in Berlin from 6th/ 7th March 2019 (save the date!), the project unfolds its full impact.

Take a glimpse at our activities, join the EmpInno project partner in your region and engage in innovation activities, and enjoy reading our third newsletter!
