I am writing on behaf of ADEIT, a world-leading organisation with its own legal personality, promoted by the Cosell Social of the University of Valencia in 1989, whose objective is (I) that companies take advantage of the capacities of the University and (II) to serve as a channel to transmit to the University the needs of companies and the productive sector. With this aim, ADEIT promotes the development of joint initiatives in those fields that foster the exchange of know‐how and, as a consequence, the enhancement of economic progress.

3.Advice on job search or business creation.
4.Spreading of the entrepreneurial spirit.

ADEIT was a partner assisting the lead coordinator’s issues for The Regional University‐Industry Strategies Network or “RUISNET”, funded from 2004 to 2007 by the European Commission INTERREG IIIC Programme. One of its objectives was to identify the good practices that have an impact on regional development in 3 categories: Innovation, SMEs and Territory; Training and the Labour Market; Entrepreneurial Spirit and Knowledge‐Based Enterprise Creation. The success of the RUISNET project has been recognised in its selection as one of the finalists for the Awards for Innovative Regions 2007.

Dear Sir, Madam,

I contact you on behalf of Regional Chamber of Commerce in the Region of Western Macedonia Greece. Our Region belongs to the degraded regions (it has one of the highest unemployment rates in Greece and in Europe consequently) although here beats the energy ‘heart’ of the country with extended mining activity and the 50% of energy generation in the country.
The innovations-hub could be a solution to the continuous degradation and bring together different capabilities of the individual and the regional research institutions. The good news is that the regional chamber of commerce has the capacities and the necessary funds to support such an innovation boosting activities.
Therefore, we believe that our candidacy in terms of the regional representation and the willingness and capabilities of the Chamber of Commerce could provide you a reliable partner from Greece.
If you are interested on our participation please contact us at: dkouras@gmail.com
