Strengthening the resilience of textile, aerospace, and construction SMEs to transition towards greener and more digital sectors with social and business innovation

Project description

Support towards greener and more digital SMEs in textile, aerospace and construction

Europe’s SMEs are the bedrock of European economy. To remain successful and competitive, they must become more sustainable. For instance, Europe’s leading sectors – textiles, aerospace and construction – need to increase green and more digital practices and adopt innovative social and business models. The EU-funded In Transit project will boost SME competitiveness. It will make it possible to connect successful SMEs with other projects that will help them scale up their innovations. An open online collaborative platform will provide support services, knowledge exchange, training and collaborations, as well as customised advisory and business services at the strategic level. The project will also support SMEs to gain the funds and assistance necessary to ensure resilience.

Objective

In Transit aims to strengthen the resilience of textile, aerospace and construction SMEs towards greener and more digital sectors with
social and business model, with a mixed support mechanism including individual assessment support and a lump sum and coaching
to ensure their consolidation and sustainability.
In Transit will provide an open online collaborative platform involving innovation actors from the aerospace, construction, and textile
sectors that will serve as a space for sharing best practices and as a matchmaking system for new ideas for innovation and circular
economy and new collaboration partnerships.
Foster cross-regional and cross-sectoral links with dedicated learning visits in combination with innovation workshops and
matchmakings to establish the seed for collaboration among sectors by identifying potential partners for commercial and innovation
cooperation that will ultimately generate growth opportunities for SMEs
Increase resilience of SMEs by supporting their transition to more sustainable business models financing of a feasibility study,
prototyping, pilot testing, demonstrating, procurement of further specialized consultancy services and coaching services that cannot
be provided directly by the project partners, an adaptation of business processes, option to access to DIHs testing facilities, the
introduction of new IT solutions, and social innovation strategies.
Scale-up support to leverage additional funds. In Transit will connect successful SMEs with other initiatives for scaling up the
innovations.
IN TRANSIT will allocate 4 M€ directly for SME support out of 5M€ (80% of total budget)
In Transit partnership will allow to reach directly (as cluster members) 700 SMEs, 140 large companies and over 150 research facilities
across 7 EU-countries, and indirectly over 5.000 SMEs across 38+ countries though EU-wide networks and European Strategic Cluster
Partnerships.
