DEETECHTIVE project

DEETECHTIVE intends to transform each participating HEI into a university of significantly increased entrepreneurial and innovation capacity, and to enhance their impact on surrounding ecosystems.

We are facing a major shift in the way that people work, innovate and study. This is caused not only by the Industry 4.0 era and social media, but also the huge transformation in education and labour systems brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. DEETECHTIVE’s unique approach is therefore based on deep tech, open innovation, sharing economy and social product development.

DEETECHTIVE sees a path in HEIs’ transformation towards universities of increased entrepreneurial and innovation capacity through Open Science by implementing an IVAP focused on (see details below):

  • Action 1: Talent Hunter Space;
  • Action 2: Deep Tech Dates;
  • Action 3: International Open Innovation Training: IDEA-up DEEP TECH;
  • Action 4: Deep Tech Innovation Challenges;
  • Action 5: Pre-Incubation Mentoring Programme: GROW UP TECH;
  • Action 6: Start-up Booster;
  • Action 7: Knowledge Hotspot.

SMERF: SME Ready for Future

SMERF, following the approach based on cross-regional Quintuple Helix Innovation Model, aims at:

(1) supporting low-tech and medium-tech SMEs transition towards companies ready for the future in 4 pillars:

  1. Innovation culture,
  2. Digital manufacturing,
  3. Open innovation 2.0 & sharing economy,
  4. Green & circular economy & sustainability,

(2) providing new services to HEIs and innomediaries that will enhance their competences and equally support SMEs beyond borders.

The SMERF project (SME Ready for Future) focuses on developing models and tools to effectively support the transformation of low- and medium-level technological SMEs towards future readiness. The project aims to create new service models for higher education institutions and business environment supporting institutions (innomediaries) to enhance their competencies while assisting SMEs in their transformation journey. The main research objectives of the SMERF project cover four pillars:

  • Innovation Culture
  • Digital Manufacturing
  • Open Innovation 2.0 and Sharing Economy
  • Green & circular economy & sustainability

The project is implemented by a consortium of four universities from Poland, Germany, Italy, and Slovakia, along with four innomediaries from Austria, Hungary, Croatia, and Italy.

IDEATION project

Our team is leading another international project – IDEATION.

Project timeline : 07.2022 – 06.2024

IDEATION intends to transform participating Higher Education Institutions into universities of significantly increased entrepreneurial and innovation capacity and to enhance their impact on surrounding ecosystems.
IDEATION’s unique approach is based on Open Innovation, Sharing Economy and Social Product Development, as we are facing a major shift in the way how people work, innovate and study. It is caused not only by the Industry 4.0 era and social media – based reality but also a huge impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the way how education and daily work has changed.

IDEATION sees a path in HEIs transformation through 6 dedicated actions boosting innovativeness and entrepreneurial skills:
Action 1: Digital access to infrastructure
Action 2: Knowledge Triangle Networks
Action 3: Crowd Innovation
Action 4: Testing crowdfunding opportunities
Action 5: Pre Incubation Program
Action 6: International Open Innovation Training

Consortium partners:

  • Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, POLAND (Leader)
  • Holon Institute of Technology, ISRAEL
  • University of La Laguna, SPAIN
  • Institute for Industrial Management, GERMANY
  • CRIT Srl, ITALY
