OaSIS project consortium meeting

On January 24, the first meeting of the OaSIS project consortium coordinated by the Cracow University of Technology will take place in PolSCA Office in Brussels. The project concerns the optimization of support methods for innovative enterprises (SMEs) and their segmentation and is financed under the INNOSUP programme from HORIZON 2020.

The goal of the OaSIS project is to strengthen Europe’s economic growth and innovation potential by optimizing innovation support programmes distributed by regional development agencies and public administrations. Optimization will be achieved by segmenting innovative SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), identifying groups of entrepreneurs with the highest growth potential and directing them to various programmes, which they will be able to achieve results corresponding to their needs, potential and ambitions. Such analysis leads to a better understanding of innovation opportunities and activities, as well as their results, achieving greater economic and social impact of innovation support programmes and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of innovation support agencies.

To implement the above project, the Cracow University of Technology plans to cooperate with the following international partners:

EURADA – European Association of Regional Development Agencies of Belgium, associating 65 agencies from 21 European Union countries – www.eurada.org
Linknovate – Spanish Start-Up dealing with the analysis of large data sets in a way that allows the discovery of correlations based on historical data www.linknovate.com
