Project description
Modern aims for stronger traditional businesses
Traditional or family-led businesses often stay away from possibilities offered by modern technologies due to a belief that they are not suited for them. What they usually have in mind are the impressive, advanced technologies based on IT, IoT, AI, AR or VR, whereas there exist many more choices offering real potential for their specific profiles. To that end, the EU-funded TRADINN project's goal is to build a strategy tailored for traditional business environments. The project's actions will efficiently promote innovations that can empower traditional businesses operating in fields such as agriculture, forestry, gastronomy or legal accounting services and convince entrepreneurs to choose among the many powerful combinations of new technologies and smart solutions for traditional products and services.
Objective
Innovative solutions are often combined with companies operating in the modern technologies industry, highly automated production companies or start-ups launching products and services based on the latest research and discoveries. Meanwhile, the market is dominated by companies offering traditional solutions that do not show, at first glance, the perspective of transformation towards broadly understood innovations. The belief in the lack of development opportunities by implementation of significant changes in traditional businesses is the reason for the stagnation, shrinkage and even the collapse of many SMEs in Europe.
Traditional companies are enterprises operating in industries that have been operating on the market for several dozen or even several hundred years, e.g. agriculture, forestry, construction, gastronomy and hotel industry, education, legal or accounting activities, as well as the activities of libraries, archives, museums and various types of transport services. The degree of their modernity and approach to the implementation of innovation often opposes modern industries related to broadly understood digitalisation and based mostly on the latest knowledge, such as IT, IoT, AI, AR, VR, drone industry, telemedicine or even hydroponics in favor of these others, of course.
Although effective combinations of innovations with traditional services or products, such as thermoactive clothing, on-line food stores, train simulators or foot scanners in shoe stores are already well known, entrepreneurs' willingness to develop towards new technologies is still small. The reason may be the lack of awareness of existing solutions and technological possibilities.
The goal of the project is to develop a strategy for promoting innovation in such business, that could be implemented by business environment organisations.
