URBAN INNO – “Utilizing innovation potential of urban ecosystems”

Duration: 36 months (01 June 2016 – 31 May 2019)

Project summary: URBAN INNO – “Utilising innovation potential of urban ecosystems” is a project addressing the challenge to make Central Europe more innovative and competitive by maximizing the innovation potential of smaller and medium sized urban ecosystems. A significantly better linkage of actors within urban innovation ecosystems is needed for a better use of innovation potentials. The project activities of URBANN INNO will be implemented in the ecosystems of the project partners. It has been envisaged that 5 new cluster will be established, and 6 regional/urban innovation plans developed in partnership regions. In parallel, new participatory methods and tools will be developed and tested in 9 pilot projects that will be implemented in partners regions.
