Private, public and academic sectors - Integrate to Innovate
| Private, public and academic sectors - Integrate to Innovate | |
| 30 January 2007 Business innovation organisation 'Fusion' has developed a new website resource where businesses and organisations will find news of events and other activities to promote and support regional and transnational networking. Fusion is part of a Northern Peripheries Programme project called i2i - Integrate to Innovate. The i2i project involves five transnational partners incorporating public, private and academic sectors. The aim is to create a dynamic network of networks, integrating academic bodies, public sector organisations and micro-businesses / SMEs into a creative, collaborative and sustainable framework. The countries involved are Scotland, Sweden, Iceland, Finland and Norway. All have a great deal in common, and the idea is that all five countries and their public / private / academic participants will benefit from sharing knowledge and working together to find new ways of overcoming the challenges posed by geographic remoteness. Businesses and organisations can register their details on the i2i website to allow them to find opportunities, contacts and partners across the Northern Periphery area. Once registered, they will also find online tools to facilitate collaborative working - such as: a notice board; a search facility to find other users; a means of communicating with other users, and shared file storage for collaborative projects. Also on the website you can find out about:
