Descrizione del progetto
Supporto all’innovazione per le PMI in Germania
La competitività dell’economia europea fa leva sulle piccole e medie imprese (PMI). Essendo la spina dorsale dell’economia europea, è essenziale che le PMI si evolvano e portino le loro attività al livello successivo. L’occupazione, la prosperità e la qualità generale della vita e dell’ambiente dipendono direttamente dalla capacità di innovazione di regioni e imprese. A questo proposito, la missione del progetto Innovation.NRW finanziata dall’UE, è quella di supportare le PMI della Renania settentrionale-Vestfalia nel settore dell’innovazione e di promuovere le condizioni che consentiranno a tali innovazioni di evolversi e di essere gestite con successo. Per ottenere ciò, dal 2008 la Commissione europea ha promosso la rete Enterprise Europe al fine di fornire sostegno locale soprattutto alle PMI nei settori dell’internazionalizzazione, del trasferimento tecnologico e in generale nella realizzazione di innovazioni.
Obiettivo
Innovations and thus also the management of innovations are of great significance for the competitiveness of the European Union, its Member States and their regions. Innovative individuals or enterprises do something which cannot be expected from the state of the art. They put innovations into practice – generally in the face of considerable resistance – and take financial, technical as well as social risks. Only in this way, however, can new technologies, processes, products or services assert themselves and future markets evolve. Employment, prosperity and the general quality of life and of the environment are directly dependent on the innovation capacity of regions and enterprises. Due to this interrelationship, the European Commission has promoted the Enterprise Europe Network since 2008 in order to provide local support above all to SMEs in the areas of internationalization, technology transfer and generally in the realization of innovations. One of the Network’s tasks is to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of innovation management in SMEs in order to accelerate the implementation of economically impactful innovations.
Supporting SMEs in the area of innovation is a core task and the mission of ZENIT, coordinator of NRW.Europa the Enterprise Europe Network node in North Rhine-Westphalia in the project Innovation.NRW. Whilst innovations naturally cannot be forecasted, they can, however, evolve under the right conditions and be successfully managed. Our understanding of innovation and innovation management is oriented at business opportunities. As a consequence, ZENIT is pursuing the different objectives in the Innovation.NRW project to maintain and expand the innovation capacity and competitiveness of the participating SMEs.
In addition, ZENIT supports the beneficiaries of the EIC Pilot from NRW in the Innovation.NRW project.
