Description du projet
Comment faire évoluer une start-up
L’écosystème entrepreneurial évolue rapidement, sous l’impulsion d’entreprises à forte croissance qui ont le potentiel d’apporter des solutions au marché, de créer des emplois et d’accroître la productivité. Il est important d’apporter un soutien pour surmonter les obstacles quotidiens afin que les jeunes entreprises puissent passer à l’échelle supérieure. Dans ce contexte, le projet Scale-ups Ready, financé par l’UE, développera des services d’évaluation avancés pour les entreprises en expansion (scale-up) et offrira un soutien adapté à leurs besoins. Plus précisément, il aidera les agences d’innovation à échanger des connaissances, de l’expertise et des bonnes pratiques sur les méthodologies avancées, les outils d’évaluation des scale-up et les services de soutien personnalisés. Les informations sur les meilleures approches et les outils seront présentées dans un document sur les options de conception, qui sera partagé avec d’autres agences et réseaux d’innovation de l’UE.
Objectif
Following international evidence that shows that a small number of high-growth firms are vital for job growth and overall economic growth, and the European Commission's Start-up and Scale-up Initiative, Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) launched in 2017 a new flagship service to support scale-ups. However, innovation agency services are in too many occasions standardised and do not take into account the rapid evolving entrepreneurial ecosystem and the advanced needs of scale-ups. Innovation agencies across Europe need to be ready today to deliver advanced assessment services to scale-ups and be able to offer support tailored to their needs.
The objective of Scale-ups Ready is to enable the participating innovation agencies to exchange knowledge, know-how, and good practices on advanced methodologies and tools for scale-ups assessment (including SMEs with high-growth potential) and customised support services, in order to develop better approaches for client intake and support of scale-ups.
Based on the Twinning+ methodology, the project aims to cover peer-learning and peer-review activities for three kinds of services through specific assessment instruments that when combined offer in-depth analysis of the needs of scale-ups, in order to provide them with tailored support:
1) An advanced IP valuation scheme, IPscore® 2.2 (FORTH),
2) An advanced business innovation roadmap tool, smE-MPOWER ‘Business innovation roadmap tool’ (LIC),
3) An advanced Innovation Health Check assessment tool (FUNDECYT-PCTEX).
This peer-learning and peer-review scheme has been developed based on each partner's identified competences and gaps in advanced services for scale-ups. The result will bring in new added-value service offerings to participating organisations, will lead to better approaches and the adaptation of tools to the specific national/regional contexts. The Design Options Paper will be shared with other EU innovation agencies and networks, and with national and EU policy-makers.
