BE-READI ALPS Details
In the fourth call of the Interreg Alpine Space Programme, BE-READI Alps (Business Economic Renewal to Enhance strAtegic Development and Innovation in Alpine Space) was approved for financing. BE-READI ALPS intends to contribute to the enhancement of the innovative and digital fabric of the Alpine space, designing and testing initiatives to develop an Alpine living lab that stimulates traditional SMEs to launch a "second life", through the creation of value chains extended at interregional level.The project idea arises from a concrete need that can be found in many regions: the ecosystem of alpine innovation is home to many traditional SMEs that tend to be hostile or unable to change and adopt state-of-the-art ideas to improve their business. In addition, there are many start-ups with high innovation potential, which often have little experience and reduced access to established channels, and finally, there are also public and private actors who support enterprises through a range of services, but which are often fragmented, redundant, territorially limited and related to often only one field of knowledge (innovation, digitalization, internationalization or access to finance).BE-READI ALPS aims to address these imbalances, primarily by strengthening the network of business support points and at the same time mobilizing key actors in the redefinition of a common agenda to support a transnational and balanced development of the Alpine economic ecosystem. The main activities aim primarily at professionalizing the staff of the BSOs in order to improve their offer and - consequently - at testing new advanced services for SMEs. In addition, new audit tools will be developed to assess the financial and digital situation of companies and numerous interactive networking events will be organized, including 11 "Ideas Factory", 3 transnational "Digithon" and an international investor event.
