Strengthening SMEs’ Innovation and Growth Potential in Internationalizing Ecosystems
In the INKA project, a unified, business-driven service model is developed between two universities of applied sciences. This model enables the effective utilization of both institutions’ RDI services and infrastructure to meet the needs of SMEs, both regionally and across regions. The developed model will be integrated into the Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) orchestrated by each university of applied sciences.
