2020- 2021 will be the period of the “perfect integration” between COSME and H2020 services, aiming at accompanying the Client in a process of co-creation of a structured process for a company’s tailored service design commensurable with their strategy and vision. The process will take in account that the SMEs’ market success is strictly related to their compliance with: innovation process, based on the following steps: conception (technology concept formulated, experimental proof of concept), protecting idea, designing the product, process or service, validating and demonstrating technology in laboratory and in relevant environment, demonstrating system prototype in operational environment, bringing the innovation to investment readiness and maturity for market take-up, launching it on large scale production. innovation management, based on assessment, improvement, planning, access2finance process and management, based on the SME’s capacity in successfully interfacing with investors (public and private) to attract grants and investment an correctly manage them, and on the Financial Readiness Level, assessed by specific tools and professionals. EEN consortia partners will improve their action providing on site support to SMEs, and becoming a part of the companies for assessing their capacity in the innovation management issues. The ELSE – SIM 2020-21 (Enterprise Lazio and Sardegna for Europe- SMEs Innovation Management) consortium as a whole is able to provide the expected services: Key Account Management • Assess SME gaps and needs, • Facilitate the identification and the initial coach-SME interaction to prepare coaching plan, • Support companies in the project management and administration Enhancing SME innovation management capacity , • Asses innovation management capacity based on performance, • Action plan implementation

FabSpace 2.0 aims at making universities open innovation centres for their region and improving their contribution to the performance of societies. It will concentrate on one innovation area with high expected socio-economic and environmental impact: geodata-driven innovation, by leveraging space data in particular. When Universities must endorse a new role as co-creators of innovations in the context of Science 2.0 principles, the future realisation of open data as a new innovation scene needs to set up a creative environment in which developers from the civil society or industry or the academic research, public administrations and civil organisations can meet, work together, co-create new tools and business models. The proposal consists in a new kind of fab labs: FabSpaces. A fab lab is a one-stop shop access to any materials, machines and tools to digitally manufacture new products, a FabSpace will be a one-stop shop-access to a range of data (incl. space data), free software & data processing tools, to develop new applications. FabSpace 2.0 will provide a new free-access service and place dedicated to collaborative data-driven innovation in 6 European universities (13 at the end of the project). Through online support, entrepreneurship & innovation leadership trainings for students and researchers, the human capital among FabSpace users will be enhanced. The link between universities, industry, the public sector and civil society will be strengthened with local and European actions/events consisting in developing new applications to tackle challenges launched by ONGs & companies. 1500 students and researchers are expected to use FabSpaces, half of them will participate in workshops and 21 teams will be invited to events were they will meet experts and start-ups. FabSpace sustainability will be ensured before the end of the project. By doing so, FabSpace 2.0 intends to make universities regional catalysts and leaders of innovation in the area of data-driven innovations

The action “Establishing services enhancing the innovation management capacity of SME's in the Enterprise Europe Network" represents an important breakthrough in delivering the EEN services. Until now the EEN consortia partners’ role was mainly catalyzing the SMEs innovation needs with the innovative product, services and processes provided by other companies or research centres, with the aim of fostering their internationalization. Strengthening the target of internationalization, the EEN consortia partners will improve their action providing on site support to SMEs, and becoming a part of the companies for assessing their capacity in the innovation management issues. The ELSE – SIM (Enterprise Lazio and Sardegna for Europe- SMEs Innovation Management) consortium as a whole is able to provide the expected services: Key Account Management • Assess SME gaps and needs, • Facilitate the identification and the initial coach-SME interaction to prepare coaching plan, • Support companies in the project management and administration Enhancing SME innovation management capacity , • Asses innovation management capacity based on performance, • Action plan implementation.
