Financing and support
of project consortia.
Help in setting up consortia is one of the key objectives of the InnovARC
project. These consortia must comprise at least one French-Swiss
pairing from the Jura Arc, including at least one business, with a
possible opening for external partners.
The projects completed under
MinnovARC, innovation areas of the future and trends identified in
the workshops, as well as the dissemination of European calls for
project proposals constitute a reservoir on which businesses can
draw and laboratories facilitating the emergence of new projects.
This support comes from the project team, but also in the form of external
services (facilitation of creativity sessions, technical feasibility studies,
market/risk analyses, business models and help with putting together
European projects, etc.) provided by players that support innovation:
