SCRI In Action

Programme 2000 - 2006 Northern Periphery

Date of latest update: 2022-04-26

Description

Description (EN):

The original SCRI project aimed to fill a gap perceived in rural, peripheral regions of elements required for the successful generation and growth of micro and small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). Building on the success of the SCRI project (which ended in January 2005), the extension implements the process emerging from joint understanding of the various international experiences. While the SCRI project focussed specifically on 4 areas (entrepreneurial development, knowledge transfer, company spin-out and distributed support), SCRI in Action focuses on the combination of all these sectors in a way which is relevant to the needs of the local partner communities. In addition, a focus in this phase will be on finding solutions to the remaining issue of securing decentralised, different types of funding for start-up companies, and the co-operation between small and large companies. This will, in effect, put into practice and demonstrate the methodology developed during the SCRI project, which will enhance innovative business development in the region.

Expected Results (EN):

• Identify and assess 20 projects using a simple form of audit • Select and work with approximately 50% of these projects • Aid the development process of 5 new companies • Complete the process of at least 2 new spin-out (trading company and/or limited company) • Complete the process of at least 2 licensing agreements (ideally based on international business partnerships) • Complete 5 action/business plans that are transnationally applied • Two cooperation agreements (technology transfers, property rights, know-how and show-how) • 1 international distribution agreement (import and/or export of new products) • Aid in the attraction of funding for the relevant selected projects (including seed funding and venture capital)
