Main Objective The development of a full NPP project that will implement, refine and develop a suite of innovation supports across 70 manufacturing SME’s in NPP region with the aim of giving them new skills, expertise, tools and concepts to allow them increase global competitiveness and be innovative leaders in their sectors.
Following the implementation period, refine the supports toolbox so that they can be utilised widely across the NPP region and beyond.
Preparatory Process The preparatory project will allow the partners to identify complementary linkages, exchange ideas and identify the innovation support components that each partner will transfer to the main project. The preparatory project will allow synergies to be identified between current projects (NPP and non NPP). The opportunity for a preparatory project will allow the partners to get to know each other, their areas of expertise, capabilities and approaches to innovation and from there design a full NPP application and hence best practice model for innovation supports to smaller manufacturing companies. It will allow the identification and recruitment of delivery partners from the regions such as enterprise support agencies to join the project. The preparatory phase will review each partner’s development aims and ensure the maximum leverage of partner’s expertise. This will result in a proposal which will bring the maximum added value to and from each partner and minimise any risks to delivery of the project. The partners must engage in this process to ensure that complementarity of development expertise and aims are fully achieved.
