About PAXIS

PAXIS has five Thematic Networks, involving Europe’s 22 most innovative regions- the Regions of Excellence- which members analyse and describe their process models in order to encourage and develop start-ups. The results of this work are then shared between all the members of the network who learn from each other and are able to adapt ideas and approaches tried and tested elsewhere. Through this benchmarking exercise, the cross-fertilisation of ideas is continuously developing and adapting a 'best of breed' model for the creation and development of start-ups and is followed by more tangible links between the participating organisations. Similarly, the networks assist players in the field of innovation to make national and international contacts which, in turn, help SMEs access new markets for the products and services, and find international partners and customers.
