Programme 2007 - 2013 North West Europe

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

The Lila project aims to support the internationalization of innovative companies in the energy and digital economy. which have been evaluated as key sectors by NWE regions. with the strategic potential of high growth. Lila is based on the Living Labs approach. the European open innovation methodology which involves users in the product development process. For the first time Lila will realize a Living Labs application at a transnational level with groups of users from 4 regions in Europe. Users participate to validate and co-design innovative products or services in order to adapt them to their local markets. Lila fosters the ambition of start-up companies. The project encourages entrepreneurs to commercialize their product at a European market dimension. It gives them the opportunity to test the product/service in specific countries before its launch. Indeed today. most organizations which support internationalization focus only on the commercial development of the companies and offer business networking or legal expertise. Lila delivers to entrepreneurs a validation of their innovative products. measures the acceptance and recommends adaptation development in order to reduce the risk of the product market launch. Regional institutions and large companies are associated with Lila to supporting the development of the start-up companies in their environment in several regions in Europe. Lila will support the regional strategies for innovation with respect to the support of start-up companies with better growth potential and an ambition at the level of the European market. Lila will promote open innovation for citizens who will be associated with the process of co-creation of products or services. The aim of Lila is to contribute to foster the internationalization of young companies from the energy and digital economy sectors; Lila aims to reduce the gap between citizens and economy. especially innovation and entrepreneurship.
