InnovLab
"This project is part of the plan GRAIES LAB": InnovLab focus its attention on the cross-border system of micro and small local industries. The quality and the dynamism of this system have direct fallouts on territorial economy, on services and on living place choice. At the beginning of the project, it’s the knowledge of the fact that the main problematic is the lack of support activities towards models and process mainly innovative. InnovLab would like to develop services and strategies for innovation in order to make the system for industries more competitive and sustainable. Especially, InnovLab promotes: entrepreneurship of new generations, innovation in models of industries’ business and their digital transformation. Thorough an active implication of local actors (co-creation) and in an integrated manner with other projects, InnovLab will develop resources of the territory: youth with competences linked to innovative entrepreneurship, micro and little digital industries and which have experimented the added value of innovative process.

According to defined challenges of ALCOTRA’s program (intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth), the strategic objective of the PITER is to make attractive the territory of rural and mountainous areas. Attractive means “endowed with an attraction power”, which “attracts toward one” and which it’s pursue in time. Three factors determine this “attraction power”: capacity to attract, which means an approach system, instruments and actions to define the area, rules and direction for the action; experimentation of services and strategies defined according to real needs of the territory; the capacity to transfer competences and passion. The principal result expected, sustainable on long term period, is the creation of Active Rural, Innovative and Solidarity Generations: make actors of the territory (actual and future) consciousness of the added value of innovation and the networking of opportunities and competencies. The PITER is focused on 5 strategic elements: governance, jobs territory, mobility and services of proximity. Direct beneficiaries of the PITER will be local administrators of the concerned sector and those who are living/working/receiving from the territory. The working method, which represents an added value and a new/original element, is based on an open co-creation approach and of CLLD ans on LivingLabs wich will be activated for each project.
