What will the project do? The GPrix project will assess a set of regional innovation support measures in a representative set of seven European regions characterized by a large number of SMEs from traditional sectors including the automotive, textiles, leather, ceramics, mechanical/metallurgy and food sectors. These measures will be benchmarked with EU support programmes in order to identify good practices in innovation support measures to produce a set of recommendations for the upcoming framework programme.
RAPPORT considers not only the engagement of SMEs into the research process but also enabling SMEs to access developed knowledge and competencies of the research community. In addition to the science-push programmes, it looks into the demand-pull initiatives where the focal SME drives the process.
