Bio Cluster. Axis 1.

[Lucio De MarcoParticipant]

“PRIORITY AXIS 1: SMART MED.
Promoting Mediterranean innovation capacities to develop smart and sustainable growth.
Specific Objective 1.1: To increase transnational activity of innovative clusters and networks of key sectors of the MED area.

Types of actions: The development of clusters and networks, development of models and tools, transfer of knowledge, awareness-raising and capitalisation activities.
Key target groups: SMEs, economic operators and structures accompanying them; public authorities and research structures.”

Trieste has developed in the last years an innovative productive sector. 60 companies are operating in the Biomedical (BioMed), Biotechnology (BioTech) and Bioinformatics (BioICT), sectors each other interconnected and definable, as a whole industrial cluster, the BioHighTech. The development has been possible thanks to the knowledge transfer from the University/Research System to the local Small-Medium Enterprises, and the support of the public sector.
The proposed MED project (or at least our part of the project) would like to implement the issue of the Governance, with the quadruple helix approach, involving Institutions (Local and/or regional goverments); Academia (Universities, other Research Institutes, Training Institutes), Industry (Clusters or SMEs); Civil Participation (Communication, programmes or events of scientific information for the citizenship). The four ‘helix blades’, working together has the objective to co-create and drive structural changes, particularly in the urban contexts, increasing and sharing innovation. Each partner should already have a local network covering the quadruple order of activity.
The (multi-module) project will realize the definition of an operative, sustainable methodology of the quadruple helix model applicable in urban framework (Module 1 Studying), and will implement sectorial or crosscutting activities in each component of the helix (Module 2 Testing).
To support the innovative approach of the project, it is interesting to have partners that are developing a cluster in the green or blue economy, or anyway partners (networks or clusters) involved in urban economic development based on innovative productions (e.g. New materials; Chemistry/Medical pruductions, Biotech products, Genetics, Informatics; other Smart technologies or Clean productions.
Partner search: if interested, send a short profile of your organization and the activity you plan to realize in the project, at demarcol@comune.trieste.it.

Dear Lucio,

CLAND, Digital and Audiovisual Cluster in Andalusia, Spain, would like to be a partner in a project related to the Priority Axis 1: INNOVATION: Promoting Mediterranean innovation capacities to develop smart and
sustainable growth.
We are a business Cluster in the CCI in the southern region of Spain, Andalucía, and we have experience in EU and National funded projects.
We are made up of a group of companies. Our main objective is to foster cooperation between different entities in order to create innovative projects and develop new business models surrounding the digital contents industry sector.
Furthermore, we are in contact with many local authorities, businesses and public bodies.
Our mission and vision are clearly defined by the following ten principles:
Competitive Cooperation, for which our cluster will be the spokesperson in talks with institutions and other sectorial organisations, which may link up horizontally or vertically.
Knowledge Society: we strive to become cutting-edge and innovative.
Internationalisation of the industry search for new markets in which we can play an important role.
Lead, transform the sector in Andalusia in order to achieve further development of the digital and audiovisual sector with a comprehensive vision.
Empower Andalusian business projects, within our sector that have become a reference in the national market and progressively in the international market.
Boost competitiveness of our business network, our partners and the Cluster.
Promote cooperation within a sector that is not integrated in terms of strategies and not united under one umbrella.
Strengthen business alliance in the sector with other external businesses.
Use technological innovation, as a means to achieve our goal.
R+D+I, as an engine for future growth
As stated before, we are available for participating in Priority Axis 1: INNOVATION: Promoting Mediterranean innovation capacities to develop smart and
sustainable growth.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Best Regards,
CLAND

Dear Sir;

I find it very interesting proposal and we would have interest in exploring it.

I am manager of the development area of the municipality of Puente Genil, a city of 30,000 inhabitants located in southern Spain, in Andalusia.

In the city the bio-economy strategy is central axis.

Personally I am a doctoral student at the University of Cordoba and have developed theoretical models based on the quadruple helix.

I hope your news, carefully
José Muñoz Jaraba
