The competences of the Chamber extend from innovation, entrepreneurship, competitiveness, trainings and internationalization to a wide range of topics to support firms.

my name is Francesca Orazi and I’m writing on behalf of SVIM-Sviluppo Marche.
We have tried to conact you many times at the following e-mail address: europeanprojects@cambrabcn.org, but every time we recevied an automatic reply of system failure due to the block of the abovementioned account, that’s why we have decided to directly conact you through the MED forum.SVIM (www.svimspa.it) is the Regional Development Agency of Marche Region (100% share owned by the Region). SVIM represents Marche Region’s centre of competence to transform programs for local development into EU and international projects.

SVIM provides a crucial link between the needs of territory and Government policies in a bottom up approach. SVIM has a key role in working in close partnership with local public and private stakeholders, universities and centres for innovation and technology transfer, while promoting innovative services to regional SMEs (encouraging new startups, supporting cluster development, attracting investment, favoring innovation and cross fertilization, etc.). Three are the key areas of SVIM to boost the competitiveness of the Marche Region for the 2014-2020 programming period: Adriatic Ionian Macroregion, Smart Specialization (in particular Cultural and Creative industries, Digital Agenda and Active Ageing) and Internationalization of innovation.
Indeed, thanks to the participation to the MED 2014-2020 Programme Kick-off held in Marseille last 22 June, we have matured a new project idea, capitalizing:

– and our long dated experience of leading projects with wide consortia and wide territorial dimensions.On these basis and knowing the leading role you play within the innovation and entrepreneurship issues and your successful experience in FAD-INS and INNOCRAFTS projects, we are here to propose you a partnership for our project idea (“4HELIX+”) to be submitted within the Axis1 (Innovation) of the 1st call for modular projects of INTERREG MED 2014-2020 programme (deadline: next 2nd November).
The general objective of our proposal is: TO UNLOCK AND BOOST –THROUGH AN OPEN SOUCE, KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND COMMUNITY BASED APPROACH- THE INNOVATION CAPACITIES OF THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE QUADRUPLE HELIX ACTORS OF FORMAL AND INFORMAL INNOVATIVE CLUSTERS OF CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES AND THEIR LINKAGES TO GREEN, BLUE AND SOCIAL ECONOMY.
