Project duration: first phase: 1.4.2016 - 31.3.2019, second phase: 1.4.2019 - 31.3.2021 and additional activites (Covid-19 call): 1.10.2021 - 30.9.2022
Programme: Interreg Europe
Lead partner: Arezzo Innovazione (Italy)
Partner countries: Italy, Hungary, Ireland, Spain
The overall objective of TRINNO project is to promote competitiveness in EU regions through improving policy instruments for business support systems that focus on applying digital innovation in the local economy.
Partners note the need for a dynamic business support system, helping enterprises and aspiring entrepreneurs to apply benefits of digital innovation (digital manufacturing, Internet of things, big data, etc) to traditional sectors. Changes are expected to policy instruments (ERDF ROP, measures for SME competitiveness) and, in turn, to local business support systems. Partners exchange Good Practices (GP) to improve projects financed by the policies and provide input to possible management improvements.
They will achieve this with an interregional learning approach starting from 2 good practices (Barcelona business support ecosystem / Tuscan measures to promote innovation in traditional manufacturing) and integrating them with experiences from other partners.
Development Centre of the Heart of Slovenia is responsible partner for Communication and Dissemination in the project.
5th call of the Interreg Europe program (COVID Call - additional activities): Activities are carried out from 1 October 2021 - 30 September 2022
In the additional year of activities, we will actively promote the improvement of digitalization and innovation of craftsmen. As part of the project activities, we will also present the Slovenian voucher scheme to international partners in more detail, which is now recognized as a good project practice from which others can learn. A regional analysis of existing good practices and how they respond to the Covid-19 crisis will be prepared and new good practices will be presented. Study visits between partners will be organized to transfer good practices from other regions.
