Network of Service Providers for Eco-innovations in Manufacturing SMEs

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-06-16

Description

Description (EN):

A lack of strong ties between small and medium sized enterprises and research centres hampers eco-innovations in the Baltic sea region. In parallel, there is untapped potential of implementing sustainable strategies in business, the example of which is a cohesive delivery of products and services. The ECOLABNET project sets up a network across the value chain of products that integrates product-service system designers, bio-based material researchers, 3D print technology providers, eco-branding specialists and business developers in order to drive sustainable eco-innovations, e.g. in medical diagnostics and electronics.

Achievements (EN):

The ECOLABNET network: The ECOLABNET project established a transnational network of research, development and innovation (RDI) service providers and intermediary organisations to support eco-innovation in manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The ECOLABNET brought together partners from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden. Thanks to the well-defined collaboration models, internally and externally, and strategies developed by the project partnership, the network has solid grounds to continue its operations after the project´s end. As an example, ECOLABNET produced three different user personas of intermediary organisations (IOs) working towards manufacturing SMEs: Promoter, Networker and Dealer. Meeting on yearly basis helps in creating further connections and presenting new research findings, demonstrations and innovations from which the network members can learn and benefit. Being a part of the network helps to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in eco-innovation. The network serves also as a matchmaking platform where the members can find business partners and customers, as well as share the information about their own products or services. The ECOLABNET network is continuously expanding based on an expansion plan and long-term strategy. The network is managed by a presidency, which is yearly changing and is agreed upon until the end of 2029. Service packages: ECOLABNET provided access to expertise to eco-innovation in the following areas: bio-based materials, 3D printing, product design and development, marketing, environmental assessment, business strategy and eco-innovation management. On the project website, there is the information about the concrete examples and inspiring demo videos produced as a result of the collaboration between manufacturing companies and RDIs. https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/ecolabnet/
