Description

Description (EN):

Traditional industry sectors are the backbone for regional economy, but they suffer from pressure resulting from the environment impact. Maritime transport is vital for regional development and in the entire EU, since approx. 90% of goods destined for markets other than the EU is supported by maritime transport. Maritime related activities that of transport and shipbuilding, energy producing & energy utilization as well as coastal tourism incl. small-scale infrastructure (yachting and cruising) are forced to search for new innovative and sustainable solutions as a result of environmental pressure (e.g. to reduce greenhouse and other emissions), to comply with new policy regulations for transport and related activities and to change the negative or ZERO innovation performance according to the recent JRC Technical Report on Blue Growth and Smart Specialization (2016).

Achievements (EN):

Boosting of Marketing of JSC Western Shipyard with the Help of CTCC Online Training: More openness, more space for fresh ideas and meaningful collaborations – a team of Klaipėda Science and Technology Park (KSTP), is delighted to see that traditional businesses from the green and blue sectors are gradually transforming. Industries are looking for some attractive tools for boosting their creativity and growing competencies that would enable the development of new products or services. And the CTCC project has something valuable to offer! “Live workshops organized in the framework of this project unlocked intense discussions and insights of our international experts – we had many positive feedbacks from our participants. This phase is over, anyway, our activities continue –now in the form of the online training that is focused on design for creativity and innovation for SMEs. This platform is open to anyone willing to learn and discover. Anyway, we are very glad to see the enthusiasm of our traditional companies”, – said Erika Zavackienė, Innovation Manager at the KSTP. Kristina Cukalina, Marketing Manager of the JSC Western Ship Agency, took part in two live workshops in Klaipeda and Gdynia – the content and personal engagement helped in building a strong confidence that design thinking and other creative methods can be used even in very “stiff” and specific areas, which seemingly are quite difficult to accept change. By her own example team member of the Western Ship Agency demonstrates a modern approach to everyday challenges and keeps on growing her professional skills: this year Kristina started her master’s degree in marketing at the Klaipeda University. Also, she became one of the first “pioneers” in Klaipeda to test the online training program created within the framework of the CTCC project and received an official statement of participation: “No doubts that this form of training is very convenient for the working or studying person. The course gave me an opportunity to consolidate and extend the knowledge I have already gained. However, one could also join the training starting from the very basic things and gradually build useful knowledge, competencies, and qualities that could open many new doors in your professional life”. Management & Business Consultancy Spurring the Rietavas Startup Growth: Another success story of the CTCC project started during the seminar Design Thinking for Innovation in Klaipeda. A start-up entrepreneur Darius Ripkauskas from Lithuania, who gave up a well-paid job and set up his own business, got the support of his idea of constructing stylized shelves for collectors and kids from the workshop mentors. Mr. Ripkauskas started to work on his project and soon he began to receive orders for the stylized shelves from America, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Germany, and Slovenia. Later on, at the Design Talks Business Conference in Gdynia, which was a part of the CTCC project and aimed to establish a creative broker platform bridging traditional and creative sectors, D. Ripkauskas was consulted by other participants about management and business development. That helped him to expand his business and start to produce souvenirs, representing the Rietavas, which are in high demand these days because of the tourism growth in the region. Collaboration of Polish Companies for Creation of New Garden Furniture: One more example of the CTCC project’s success is the story from the Association of Polish Communes of Euroregion Baltic / ERB. During the project’s workshops three companies: Modei Sztuka & Design, CGP Sp. Z o.o. and Termdach focusing on architecture, It and renewable energy, respectively, got to know each other and started to work together on one project. The project aims to create garden furniture made of concrete. The further plans are to produce furniture from the materials which are lighter and easier to process. Each of these companies employs less than 5 employees and orients on the local market nevertheless all the businesses involve cooperation with foreign partners. Participation in the CTCC project was a great opportunity for the companies to enlarge their network and elaborate new business ideas through the engagement in workshops. Software Tool for Individual Gardening Solutions: Within the framework of the CTCC project (Creative Traditional Companies Cooperation), the designer Nils Remer from Wismar, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, developed in collaboration with local gardening and construction companies an easy-to-use software tool for the individually attractive design of garden elements and house building areas. The developed software combines the individual design wishes with the variability of garden and landscaping products. The application software convinces with a user-friendly and well-arranged modular concept. In contrast to other, more complex applications, the shop library focuses on an individual photo of the location and possible design solutions with existing products and services. This combination enables the user to visualize and implement concrete design ideas easily and quickly. Advantages of the software: – the individual program interface and product library, – direct start of the software without installation, – individual user photos as a design basis, – user-friendly program structure and quickly visualized results, – automatic determination of the required sizes and quantities.
