Objective
Many large corporations have in recent years changed their inward thinking to one of open innovation whereby they recognise the wealth of ideas and opportunities that are currently available from EU SMEs and that the potential to harness those from SMEs currently unaware of the benefits of TTT is vast. An innovative partnership is proposed between initially one multinational company and a key technology agency in four regions. It is based on the understanding that companies can absorb best practice from other companies and that big companies at the head of the supply chain provide the most effective cutting edge for change in regions. The actions proposed to meet the above objectives will be carried out in four main stages 1. Identification and mobilisation o f company networks such as supply chains, trade associations, collaborative ventures as an improved mechanism for stimulating technology transfer. 2. Provision of access to R and D opportunities. The mechanisms by which these networks and the large companies are identifying opportunities will be researched and the process streamlined for ease of access and exploitation. 3. Capacity building within individual companies and groupings to ensure that companies are capable of using the nodes to promote and ac cess new opportunities. 4. Finally, to ensure maximum impact at a European level a sustained dissemination programme will be initiated using the partners own network contacts and intermediaries to create a multiplier effect. Overall output: Currently, R a nd D and technology transfer facilitation is driven by the public sector and governmental organisations. This project will have the end result of creating a sustainable process whereby innovation and technology transfer is driven by multinational companie s and their supply chains in an active process to stimulate cooperation on an international scale.
