Project description
New innovation approach covers five ecosystems, four society sectors
Quadruple-helix collaboration is a form of research and development collaboration that brings together four major sectors of society (industry, government, research institutions and the public). The EU-funded Consolid8 project will study how this collaboration can be used to promote the integration of social innovation actors in innovation networks in 15 European ecosystems. The project identified challenges in five pioneering ecosystems with different innovation performances: Ireland (strong innovator); Italy, Greece and Slovenia (moderate innovators); and Romania (emerging innovator). Consolid8 developed capacity-building programmes to cater to the needs of each target group in terms of both the social innovation landscape and the classic innovation ecosystems.
Objective
Consolid8 is paving the way for the integration of social innovation actors in innovation networks in 15 European ecosystems using the quadruple helix collaboration. From the challenges we identified in 5 pioneering ecosystems with different innovation performances (strong innovator – Ireland, moderate innovators – Italy, Greece, Slovenia, emerging innovator – Romania) we developed 5 capacity building programs that we will deliver to cater to the needs of 5 target groups from both the social innovation landscape, and the classic innovation ecosystems. We will harvest the lessons learned in delivering the different pioneering programs and we will exploit them in a follow-up European accelerator targeting additional 10 ecosystems which we will support through a validated methodology for accelerating ecosystems (developed and implemented by DEEP Ecosystems). We will link the 5 pioneering programs & showcase their results during a European social innovation festival in Brașov, Romania, that will aim to interlink social innovation actors with innovation ecosystems. We will ensure widespread visibility for this event at European level and we will launch an open call for the ecosystem builders to register for the accelerator for ecosystem builders.
The project proposes strong pathways towards achieving impact, including activities aimed at developing 3 crowdfunding campaigns for social innovators, 1 research on an alternative financing program for social innovation for local authorities or researching and testing and showcasing 12 social innovation models with potential of scaling up and replicability. For the achievement of the project’s results, 8 partners across the quadruple helix are collaborating.
