Networking and International Partnerships for Companies Project promotes networking among companies in the Uusimaa region and other local innovation ecosystem actors, as well as access to European R&D funding, thereby fostering innovation in the area.
The main goal of the project is to find the most effective ways to engage companies in Uusimaa in R&D activities, better than before. In addition, the project creates new insights and approaches for 3AMK, based on an EU influence plan, which strengthen the visibility and impact of 3AMK and companies from Uusimaa both regionally and in the EU.
The project’s activities aim to improve awareness, impact, and expertise related to European funding, both nationally and internationally, by enhancing knowledge and utilization of EU funding instruments. As a result of the project’s efforts, the effectiveness of RDI collaboration between 3AMK and businesses will increase at the regional, national, and EU levels. Interaction and cooperation between businesses and 3AMK’s RDI actors will also increase. At the same time, the project’s activities will be linked to what other innovation ecosystem actors in Uusimaa are already doing.
