Periodic Reporting for period 1 - INNO-MOB (Unlocking the potential of the Mobility Innovation Ecosystems and Networks)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2023-02-01 do 2024-01-31
INNO-MOB emerges against the backdrop of a rapidly transforming mobility sector, marked by escalating environmental concerns, urbanization pressures, and the imperative for sustainable transport solutions. The project aims to leverage opportunities that initiatives and networks offer to innovative and dynamic businesses within an inclusive mobility innovation European ecosystem. It seeks to utilize the emerging sustainable mobility market to examine these opportunities and develop support mechanisms for companies to bring innovations to market swiftly. Primary Objectives of the project include (a) identifying and mapping the needs of stakeholders within the mobility sector (b) creating a comprehensive Mobility Innovation Network (MIN) platform that facilitates collaboration, knowledge sharing, and access to resources among mobility stakeholders, and (c) enhancing the visibility and accessibility of innovative mobility solutions, thereby accelerating their market uptake.
INNO-MOB is designed to serve as a catalyst for the deployment of innovative mobility solutions. It aims to significantly reduce ecosystem fragmentation, enabling a more coordinated approach to innovation and a smoother pathway from ideation to market. By leveraging the collective expertise and resources of seven partner institutions across Europe, along with an extended network of clusters and initiatives, the project promises to establish an ecosystem that fosters collaboration among startups, SMEs, public authorities, and research institutions, exchange of best practices, and the development of cutting-edge technologies and services that are pivotal to the future of mobility and aligned with stakeholder needs and societal goals.

A significant endeavor until this point of project implementation was the execution of a holistic intelligence process to identify service gaps within the mobility sector. Through a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, including surveys and in-depth interviews, the project gathered comprehensive insights from SMEs and ecosystem stakeholders. This activity pinpointed discrepancies between the needs of innovation stakeholders and the services offered by existing networks or initiatives. The application of the Conceptual Model of Service Quality facilitated a nuanced understanding of these gaps, enabling targeted interventions.
The development of the Collective Innovation Deployment Development Support Model (CIDDSM) represented a critical stride towards reducing the innovation divide across European territories. Through the design and facilitation of workshops, the project engaged stakeholders in the co-creation of new support services and collaborative schemes. The outcome was the formulation of seven new services aimed at addressing identified needs and challenges, thereby enhancing the inclusiveness and effectiveness of innovation support networks.
INNO-MOB launched the Stakeholder Chain Map Intelligent Platform (SCMIP), a sophisticated tool designed to facilitate data collection, visualization, and decision support. Integrated within the broader Mobility Innovation Network (MIN) platform, SCMIP serves as a nexus for collaboration, offering services like regulatory navigation assistance and a marketplace for innovation. The platform effectively bridges regional and national strategies, fostering a pan-European cluster of diverse regions where stakeholders can identify collaboration opportunities.

INNO-MOB aims to create an inclusive mobility innovation European ecosystem to support dynamic businesses in bringing mobility innovations to market quickly. INNO-MOB main result is the development of the Mobility Innovation Network (MIN) platform, which includes a Stakeholder Chain Map Intelligent Platform, offering a holistic view of mobility networks and initiatives. The platform also provides a marketplace and communication forum for stakeholders to exchange information, services, and innovations, fostering collaboration and accelerating the deployment of mobility solutions.
The potential impact of the project is to facilitate collaboration and access to information, enhance the competitiveness of SMEs and startups and accelerate the time-to-market for innovative mobility solutions. The increased awareness and networking opportunities are anticipated to attract investments and foster a culture of innovation in the mobility sector. The project is expected to contribute to sustainable transportation goals.
To ensure the project's outcomes are effectively utilized and the impact is maximized, several key needs must be addressed: (a) Ongoing innovation and validation in real-world scenarios to ensure solutions meet market needs, (b) Strategies for commercialization, including identifying funding opportunities and developing market entry strategies, (c) Guidance on protecting intellectual property and assistance in developing viable business models, (d) Advocacy for favorable policies and standards to encourage innovation adoption, (e) Continuous interaction with potential users and stakeholders to align innovations with market demands.
Addressing these needs is crucial for the sustained success and uptake of the mobility innovations developed through the INNO-MOB project.
