Promotiing participation of innovative SMEs through regional networking

Objective

INNOSME intends to identify potentially innovative SMEs from the different ICT subsectors located in the EU-12 territories, assess their capabilities and improve their conditions in order to make them fitter for participation in RTD projects of the 7FP.

The project turns around two collectives:
- regional/local support networks composed by existing organizations and institutions related to the SMEs in the ICT sector, considered as sounding boards and sources of influence for the project
- SMEs of the ICT sector that are the targeted collective of the project, as well as end-users and beneficiaries of the project activities.

INNOSME will develop according to the following phases:
- Put in place regional networks of organizations involved with SMEs, especially intermediate bodies like business associations and chambers of commerce, but also local development agencies, public authorities, and education and training institutions. Establish working links with existing EU-supported projects and networks that facilitate the participation of SMEs in RTD activities
- Create a Database of SMEs from the ICT sector in the EU-12, identifying those potentially candidates to participation in RTD programmes
- Implement an information and communication environment, with the right proportions of real events and personal contacts (two series of annual workshops will be held in the EU-12 countries, IST-related EU events will be attended), and web-based tools (collaborative workspace, innovation management and RTD participation capability autodiagnostics, on-line tutorials) to assess, train and advice SMEs in their path to participation in Community ICT research.
