Innovative Regions

Description

The aim of the project is to prepare European regions for structural changes in the best possible way, so they can be abreast with and counteract the outsourcing of production to countries with low costs.

The mission is to secure that the transition from the industrial society to the knowledge society becomes constructive, profitable and voluntary. Instead of the companies having to act under pressure and performing stopgap measures.

It is essential for the regions that SMEs get access to all relevant information and research results so they can draw upon experience as well as theoretical methods.
