Unlocking the potentials for business and social innovation in the Danube Region by equipping young people with new generation skills

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Danube

Date of latest update: 2023-11-06

Description

Description (EN):

Young generations have the potential to be pro-active engines of innovation and become change-makers in their local communities. However, 62% of young people in Central and Eastern Europe are not interested in starting their own business, whereas one in five would like to, but consider it too difficult. This weak entrepreneurial culture and missing innovation management capacities are recognized as a key challenge in the Danube Region. Unlocking youth’s unexploited potential starts at local level by developing their skills and competences and creating an enabling environment to help them become their ideas grow their innovative ideas into ventures with high social added value, potentially taken up by the private & public sectors transnationally. The project will upgrade existing cooperation mechanisms between its key target group of quadruple helix actors including local municipalities, as facilitators, along with organisations representing local youth, education, and the business sector to create innovative local support schemes going beyond existing fragmented initiatives taking the form of INNOVATION LABS joined in a transnational network. Interweaving innovation and youth entrepreneurship support will contribute to bridging the gap between education and new generation skills needed for navigating in the changing world of work. Through organic, community based learning programs – DYNAMIC LEARNING PACKAGE, this novel support scheme will reach out to the youth, in particular young people (aged 15-29) in transition from education to the labour market, faced with major career decisions, who are motivated, but inadequately skilled to generate new ideas and take the first steps towards socially responsible, transformative entrepreneurship. This youth focussed innovation support process will ultimately lead to better economic performance, lower brain drain and have a positive impact on the quality of the local working/living environment.

Expected Results (EN): Intensity of cooperation of key actors in the programme area in order to increase competences for business and social innovation (survey based composite indicator)

Expected Outputs (EN):

The project contributes to DTP result indicator 1.2. Intensity of cooperation to increase competences for business and social innovation. NewGenerationSkills will result in improved competences and cooperation, and a fresh mind-set of all key of actors of the quadruple helix, needed to better exploit the innovation capacity of the youth by opening up new self-development and career paths for them, which are beneficial both for the community and the local businesses. Entrepreneurship is a key competence for all, helping young people to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake and to act in a socially responsible manner. The Innovation Lab model, including the foundational learning process provided by the Dynamic Learning Package relies on the cooperation of an extended circle of actors and synchronizes their operation to achieve high efficiency. By equipping the youth with the competences, tools and support needed to turn their transformative ideas into ventures, more young people will be able to enter the changing world of work, either as intra- or entrepreneurs. The transferable youth focussed innovation support model achieves a win-win situation for cooperating actors, acquiring skills to channel back new ideas to social/ public service innovation in their operation. This ultimately leads to better economic performance, lower brain drain and a positive impact on the quality of the local working/living environment in cities implementing it.
