(Europe INNOVA is a European initiative which aspires to become the laboratory for the development, testing and promotion of new tools and instruments in support of innovation, to help innovative enterprises to innovate faster and better.)

Role and priorities/objectives in knowledge transfer & innovation: Innovation Acceleration key priorities and activities are:

  • Coaching services for Europe INNOVA projects aimed at enhancing the impact and adoption of developed services/tools for innovation support (steering the development of winning exit strategies) via customized specialist advice, training, methodology toolkits, rehearsing sessions.
  • Development and maintenance of the Innovation Acceleration repository, an online database of “best in class” services and tools for innovation support developed in Europe, which have undergone a process of assessment, improvement and reshaping for the purpose of their better/wider use by innovation intermediaries.
  • Creation and animation of a community of innovation intermediaries, where users are directly engaged in discussing, sharing, testing the novel tools/services while suggesting possible improvements. The Innovation Acceleration Validation Platform, a high profile panel of innovation support experts in charge of appraising new methods/approaches for improving the take up process, will be the main mechanism for gathering qualified feedback from the community.
  • Promotion services to disseminate the novel tools and services developed to final users, through information campaigns, road-shows and showcasing opportunities, matchmaking events.
