PMI Network: increase PMI’s competitivness
OBJECTIVEIncrease the collaboration between companies, also involving theirrepresentatives, Universities, research centers and public bodies, with the major objective of improving their internationalization andenhance their competitiveness.
GOALS: • Improve the interaction with innovation experts and entepreneurs
• identify targeted opportunities for collaboration with the aim of consolidating and developing the PMI innovation.
• provide PMI an access point to a series of specific consulting services and ongoing management support for R & D and technology transfer.
• develop a strategic vision of use of outsourced research and development.
PMI Network: increase PMI’s competitivness
SERVICES:PMI who join the network will have access to a package of services provided by the project partners. These services will be divided into two levels:
The first level provides access to information materials and participation in thematic workshops aimed at identifying the specific requirements for the areas of R&D, intellectual property, funding and production problem-solving.
The second level provides access to targeted advices for the implementation of research and development programs, submission of funding applications, organization of specific innovation projects, Prior Art search and investigate the innovative solutions found in order to guide the development and test of patent protection requirements.Partners:
A network of companies that decide to believe in the value
of technical and scientific research and innovation by implementing significant
actions with the support of the University.
