Assessment reports on the innovation ecosystems

Based on the experience of existing Innovation Hubs and their Business Models, an identification of possible candidates for the establishment of new regional Innovation Hubs will be supported. Considering the input from WP3 and WP4 an assessment will be carried out to identify at least 3 different regions in 3 different countries with developed ecosystems capable of: •Providing the technical expertise and facilities (labs, infrastructures, pilot lines for production, etc.) •Providing business access to the latest knowledge, expertise and technology for testing and experimenting their products before launching them in the market. •Providing the connections with investors and facilitate access to financing of businesses and help connect users and suppliers of innovations across the value chain.
