Expected outcomes of the Medi-Cube project

The Project

MEDI-CUBE is in line with the strategy of ARCHIMED to overcome the spatial continuity of Southeastern Europe and the geographic remoteness of the targeted areas by offering a fertile common ground for cooperation in joining common actions pertaining to innovation. MEDI-CUBE cooperation platform acts as a bridge joining along innovative resources from the targeted member states and creating impact on the economic context in the area.

MEDI-CUBE is aligned with the programme's strategy in developing policies related to the transfer of knowledge and promotion of innovation and the technological development in the remote areas of South-eastern and Central Europe. The geographical barriers of the targeted areas from Northern and Western Europe, where Europe's innovation capacity is concentrated, could be overcome with the creation of cooperation platforms for joined innovative actions based on technological cooperation.

The expected outcomes are the following:

  1. Creation of a network of 10-20 incubators
  2. Analysis of the business and technology environment
  3. Development of an online platform with an innovation toolbox to facilitate the transfer of technologies and product innovation to tenant companies
  4. Training of all network members in the adaptation and use of the toolbox in their particular business environment.
  5. Pilot implementation of the platform in sixteen cases in different industry sectors, such as food, IT, health, telecommunications, energy, automation and development of the corresponding technology services.
  6. Evaluation of pilot applications and exchange of good practice based on the results of the pilot applications.
The results will be to network incubators towards innovation take-up actions creating momentum for SMEs with pilot innovative applications, exchange of best practises and brokering events.
