The OaSIS project established cooperation agreements with the following regional development and innovation agencies to help improving their innovation support activities for SMEs:
Bottom-up approach: A thorough analysis of segmentation & support measures for innovating SMEs based on regional development and innovation agencies insights.
Benchmarking study: Assessing the effectiveness of multiple support mechanisms currently used in regional development & innovation agencies across Europe.
Performance-based methodology: Allowing the regional development agencies to segment and support SMEs with the instruments that have statistically proven to produce the highest impact for similar types of companies.
About the OaSIS project
Optimizing Support for Innovating SMEs
Performance-based methodology for regional development and innovation agencies to segment & support innovating SMEs.
The OaSIS project will provide thorough analyses of the existing approaches to the segmentation of innovating SMEs and the assessment of the effectiveness of regional support mechanisms currently used in Europe. Unique Big Data analyses will uncover patterns and correlations among innovating SMEs and spot (early) “success metrics”. This allows to develop new, optimized funding schemes and target enterprises with the highest growth potential.
