Sustainable Innovation Mechanisms

Towards Future Smart Specialisation in Cross-Sectoral Cooperation. Exploitation Strategy & Action Plan for Sustainable Innovation Mechanisms

As part of CTCC goals, we facilitate innovation development process in Green and Blue Economy SMEs, in which creative and traditional sector are involved: a) maritime transport & shipbuilding; b) green (renewable) energy production (offshore wind energy, biofuels, biogas); and c) maritime tourism (yachting, marinas and cruising infrastructure. We have planned a 5-Year Strategy in which we are implementing 4 Mechanisms, which are labelled as: Yearly CTCC Contest, University-Business Partnership ,Triple-Helix Training Programme, and Cross-border Competence Mobility Centre). For each mechanism, our CTCC Partners have provided information so as to explain what the purpose/value is, what objective(s) are being focused on, which actions are to be taken. In addition, each CTCC partner identifies what is to be measured and how it is to be evaluated by employing measure indicators. We identify risks & assumptions and explain their impact.

The CTCC platform that will function beyond the project life and will add value in the sense that it will provide the following:

Merge creative brokers (”the WHO“ are able to provide knowledge & expertise);
Provide value added – (”the WHAT“, developing any kind of innovation, e.g. prototypes; providing capacity building for SMEs (trainings, workshops, contests, retraining programmes, student theses’ topics, courses integrated in university curricula, etc.
Bring all affected together – (”the HOW“), open, free of charge network & platform. When it comes to cross-sectoral innovation or cross-innovation, it is the first place to meet.
Provide space and capacity for future transformation (”the WHEN“) – regularly events beyond the CTCC project life, our platform, with open contests, entrepreneurship contest, etc.
