We are pleased to inform that our proposal within Horizon 2020 INNOSUP – peer learning of innovation agencies successfully has passed the evaluation phase.

The main aim of the project called Innovators2B is to enhance the agencies’ management efficiency in the field of first time innovators’ service. Three innovation agencies (PSTP, ESPAITEC and Lithuanian Innovation Centre)  involved in the project will work using twinning+ methodology in order to create valuable Design Options Paper regarding first time innovators engagement into process of implementing innovation. The solutions developed in the paper will be implemented in the agencies as new or improved programmes based on these given approaches.

The result of peer learning activities within the project will be an effective approach to identify and convince “potentially innovative companies” to engage in innovation process with the use of external support. It involves designing the whole support process from the identification of the target group, marketing channels, attractive offer, diagnostics of individual needs, consequent support delivery and follow up of the process till successful result.

The results of the project will be communicated to regional and national authorities as the topic of monitoring SMEs needs is very common with regard to efficiency of policies aiming to enhance SMEs competitiveness, especially their growth on national and international markets as well as their engagement in innovation processes.
