Mission 4 – Component 2 – Investment 1.5 – Creating and strengthening ‘innovation ecosystems for sustainability’

Innovation ecosystems are networks of highly qualified and internationally recognised public and private bodies, whose aim is to facilitate technology transfer and accelerate the digital transformation of businesses’ production processes, with a view to economic and environmental sustainability and social impact on the local area. They are organised according to a hub-and-spoke governance structure, with the hub carrying out management and coordination activities, and the spokes carrying out research and innovation activities.
