On 17th May, the digital Policy Forum of the Skills2Scale project was held to discuss the project’s achievements and share the valuable lessons learned. Project partners representatives presented and discussed the project’s outcomes and best practices/good experiences among HEIs and KICs.
After doing the self-evaluation at the start of the project, we asked the same questions again to show how the institutions had “moved on ” after one year. The greatest progress was noted in the areas of ‘understanding and expertise’, ‘collaboration with industry partners’, ‘access to necessary R&D equipment’, ‘courses, training/innovation and e-business support programmes’ – all related to Beyond 5G technology.
Le’ts have a look what great things have been done so far:
Mapping the initial state of 5G technology deployment among project partners,
Shaping communication strategies and building multidisciplinary university support structures,
Creating a database of existing and potential local and regional stakeholders,
Almost 30 articles sharing best practices from project partners´ innovation ecosystems have been published in the online library.
About twenty press releases and more than sixty social media posts with over 1200 reactions have been issued by project partners.
The digital conference on 19th June: 𝘽𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙚𝙙: 𝙐𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙋𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝟱𝙂, under the auspices of the Uzhhorod National University, is going to be „the icing on the S2S cake“ in the last month of the project!

A perfect picnic includes sandwiches, refreshments, good company and interesting discussions. This was the inspiration for the last local stakeholder event organized by the University of Lapland as part of the Skills2Scale project. The event “Business Picnic” served a tasting menu of business development, business growth and creating innovations. Companies, funders, business developers and Higher Education Institutions gathered to discuss and network at the event held at the Service Innovation Corner (SINCO) at the Faculty of Art and Design in University of Lapland, Finland.
Businesses need support such as financial incentives, advice in internationalizing, networks and fruitful cooperation in order to grow their company and generate new ideas. All of these topics and many more were covered by speeches and lively discussions held at the event. Regional perspective to business development was brought by a representative from Lapland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centre) showcasing Team Finland research, development and innovation services and financing for companies. Followed by local business developer Business Rovaniemi presentation covering InnoCity Rovaniemi, which is a cooperation project with the state of Finland and university city Rovaniemi to boost development of a competitive local innovation ecosystem and impactful RDI activities. Last but not least University of Lapland and Lapland University of Applied Sciences presented different types of cooperation with companies including research, development, projects, labs, theses and internships.
There were so many fresh ideas for business development that participants might have a hard time picking just one! The picnic event sparked connections between entrepreneurs and professionals, paving the way for future collaborations
