The outputs were based on the Twinning+ methodology among the three partners of the Creatinno consortium (CzechInvest, Creative England and BEAZ Bizkaia). This methodology is based on sharing problems, good practices, experience, know-how and knowledge between two or more entities.
The results of the project encompass raise in awareness of the CCIs in the regions, the transfer of good practices in support for SMEs’ innovation via cross-cultural cooperation, mutually beneficial relationships among the partners in Europe,
enhanced communication among institutions supporting the CCIs and identification of needs.
The target groups of the project are creative SMEs, innovation agencies, regional stakeholders and policymakers.
The result of the implemented peer-review and learning process is the Design Options Paper (DOP). The DOP serves as a “cookbook” for other innovation agencies and institutions in Europe. It provides guidelines for designing and implementing support programmes and services for CCI SMEs in order to exploit their full potential.
The DOP is the result of 12-month project. Over the course of that period, three workshops took place in each partner country, where the relevant activities and discussions were undertaken also with stakeholders. The DOP has been disseminated internally and externally through regionals network of contacts, websites, social medias or during regional activities.
The results of the project Creatinno and best practices from all of partner institutions as well as stakeholders were presented in the conference called Creatinno which took place in Prague in December 2019.
