Pilot Project 1 "Cooperation with Innovation and business intermediaries at county or subregional level"
Pilot Project 2 "Cooperation with local authorities on internationalisation"

The Interregional Partnership Platform is aiming to improve the capacity of regions for innovation by increasing the performance of innovation intermediaries at local and regional level in the partner regions in European co-operation and EU innovation programmes.
Therefore the project has set itself to jointly implement successful practices in two pilot projects for the four partners during the life cycle of this project

One of the expected result of the IPP project is the Transferred Practices of two Pilot projects on joint coaching strategies targeting innovation intermediaries as well as innovation services of local authorities

Therefore the key aspects of the project: the collection of best practices in Europe, the development of an inventory of good practices, the joint development of pilot projects in this field and the constant benchmarking and monitoring are designed to support the overall strategy in the region. Once the project is accepted the regional government will set the framework decision to develop the regional strategic access strategy which is a key part of  this project proposal as well.

The pilot projects on transferring success access models will furthermore ensure that the existing innovation systems in the regions, as well as their access strategies, are more closely linked (including the intermediary organisations, companies and local and regional authorities).
