Periodic Reporting for period 1 - KAMWAL 2.4 (Innovation support through specialized EEN services for Walloon innovative SMEs 2020-2021)

Okres sprawozdawczy: 2020-01-01 do 2021-12-31

Podsumowanie kontekstu i ogólnych celów projektu

The main objective of the KAMWAL2.4 project was to propose a professional coaching system for Walloon SMEs beneficiaries of H2020 SME Instrument, Fast Track to Innovation (FTI) ,Future Emerging Technologies (FET) and EIC related measures.
Through specialised advisors, KAMs for Key Account Managers, EEN Wallonia identified coaching needs associated to the SME and its project, coaches’ profiles that could be associated to these needs in order to propose to the company to collaborate with them.

The objective of the coaching is to help the SME to develop its growth project under the best conditions and to increase the chances of success in order to obtain a positive impact on the health and wealth of the European economy.

The project aimed also to propose to relevant Walloon SMEs a specialised service in order to help them to progress at the level of innovation management. The EIMC - Enhanced Innovation Management Capacity - is based on the use of on EC agreed and standardized tools used to assess the starting situation and then to draw action plans with the company and to help in their implementation. The provision of this service is also a way to identify potential candidates to the SME Instrument programme.
Regarding the context, establishing links with Cosme environment and especially providing "basic" EEN services is of particular interest.

Until September 2020, EEN partner InnovaTech operated both services in Wallonia.

Prace wykonane od początku projektu do końca okresu sprawozdawczego oraz najważniejsze dotychczasowe rezultaty

For the “KAM” part, InnovaTech took in charge only 4 Walloon cases.
For the “EIMC” service, partner Innovatech used its tool INNONET to achieve the assessment part of the service. Innovation practices within 11 Walloon companies were evaluated

Innowacyjność oraz oczekiwany potencjalny wpływ (w tym dotychczasowe znaczenie społeczno-gospodarcze i szersze implikacje społeczne projektu)

In 2018, the Walloon authorities started to reorganize the publicly-funded SME support system in order to make it more professional and more able to provide added value services and impact to most promising SMEs and projects. Since that, this project is ongoing, with effects coming out progressively according mainly to funding decisions to be taken. That’s why they decided mid-2020 that the activities of InnovaTech should be stopped and reallocated to other organizations for the sake of coherence and complementarity.
That led to stop the project at the end of September 2020.
