About:
Interreg Central Europe project URBAN INNO - Utilizing Innovation Potential of Urban Ecosystems is 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 have been implemented in the ecosystems of the project partners. 5 new quadruple-helix innovation networks are established, and 6 regional/urban innovation plans developed in partnership regions. In parallel, a Toolbox of smart participatory methods and tools has been developed and tested in 9 pilot projects, implemented in partners regions.
