This past Wednesday, September 25th, the partners of the I3-INSHAPE project concluded the second day of their meeting in Rovaniemi, Finland, with significant progress for the future of the European Innovation Hubs network. This second day focused on consolidating the project’s foundation, with a strategic focus on supporting European SMEs in the sports and innovation sectors.
One of the key highlights was the presentation on the creation of the data-related services portal. This portal will be a fundamental tool for offering companies evidence-based and analytical solutions, allowing them to make more informed decisions and increase their competitiveness in the European market.
Another significant achievement of the day was the completion of the joint services catalog for SMEs, which will include access to innovation tools, mentoring programs, product testing, and collaboration with academic and industry experts. This catalog will be a vital bridge between emerging SMEs and the broad European Union market, helping them compete and grow in a highly dynamic environment.
In addition, communication strategies were discussed to broaden the visibility of the project and attract more companies to the I3-INSHAPE ecosystem. Open calls will soon be launched, allowing more SMEs to join the network and benefit from the resources and collaboration opportunities this project offers.
At Hub Sports Valencia, we remain committed to the I3-INSHAPE project’s mission of helping sports companies innovate, grow, and compete in the global market. Stay tuned for our upcoming updates, and don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this innovation network!
