Analysis, Diagnosis, Evaluation, Pilot Actions and Learning processes for Joint Innovation Programmes – INNO-DEAL, 6th Framework Programme - Research and Innovation (PRO-INNO initiative)
Project Overview
The INNO-DEAL project is inspired by the ever stronger need for European regions to find common ways to generate growth and to create strategic synergies by sharing experiences and bringing their recommendations to the attention of European authorities at all levels.
INNO-DEAL focuses on support programmes for innovative small and medium sized companies (SMEs), paying special attention to funding schemes for companies in start-up and spin-off phase. INNO-DEAL gathers 12 European regions in order to:
· create the conditions for a systematic exchange of experiences and good practices among managers of support programmes;
· develop a mutual learning cycle for regional programmes, based on reciprocal mentoring schemes;
· structure a common ground for cooperation and for the implementation of joint programmes for trans-regional innovation activities.
