I3-INSHAPE aims to strengthen the European digital economy by developing the ClusSport Partnership (recognized by the EU in the smart specialisation area – S3– of sports and vitality) into a European competence centre for SME initiatives in the field of sports and vitality: the I3-INSHAPE Network of Innovation and Investment Hubs, where we will accelerate interregional innovation investments related to sports and vitality and bring them to the market.
such with I3-INSHAPE we contribute to solving the problem of increasingly inactive lifestyles across the general population, recognised as a major cause of increased levels of chronic and endemic diseases across the population (diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer and cancer).
The approach is demand-driven. The consortium wants to support SMEs in their process to address challenges in data-driven growth, to upscale innovations and to bring them to the market:
1) find interregional connections to building value chains and expanding market presence;
2) digitalize services & products and create better access to data,
3) provide business and innovation support: user-driven innovation, scale-up, commercialization and access to financing.
The project will build the portfolio of interregional investment (I3) cases from 6 pre-selected FLAGSHIP SME I3 cases (included in the partnership) and another 30+ SME I3 Cases selected during the project via a series of bottom-up OPEN CALLS. The 30+SME I3 Cases will benefit from additional funding to A) address specific needs/requests from Flagship SMEs and B) build a second Stream of additional I3 cases, thereby contributing to building interregional value chains around the Flagship and Second Stream I3 cases.
Finally, the project will transform the I3-INSHAPE Innovation & Investment Hubs into a self-sustaining, demand-driven ecosystem carrying on beyond the lifetime of this proposal.
