New transnational modes of cooperation will lead to growing international trade and activated transnational investments. New SME participation models, new business possibilities and cooperation will accomplish a lot of new

2 innovation processes on the SME level. The structural arrangements made within the project for fostering technology based business and entrepreneurship will produce a long lasting basis for versatile industrial development in each participating country. 3. The transnational cooperation on the R&D and education fields is strengthened. The exchange and transnational adoption of local and national development results will prominently be increased (for example, national systems to foster entrepreneurship and innovations and increasing practical business applications of scientific results). The new international PhD degree program will increase the enthusiasm for transnational scientific and educational cooperation. 4. The project will produce alternative solutions and support to national (technical and/or business based) problems like financial services to entrepreneurs, developing local business infrastructure and also energy questions, transport and logistics, telecommunications and information technology. The national focus of these will different depending on the situation and local problems in each participating country. Short project description: The idea of this project is to build up transnational modes of action to foster the creation, growth, innovation activities and internationalisation of technology based SMEs of the participating countries. This project includes both joint elements and national elements. The national elements of the project will vary based on the regional situation in each country. The working packages of this project include 1. Business incubators (INC) 2. Technological transfer from research to business (TRB) 3. SME participation models (BSME) 4. Transnational PhD Degree Program of Technology and Innovations (BEP) 5. Dissemination of knowledge The project will last five years and the original budget is 2 million euros.

Transnational PhD Degree Program of Technology and Innovations (BEP) - forming out the transnational PhD degree program of educational packages from each of the participating universities - planning the degree program in the first half of the project period - piloting the arrangements during the second half of the project period with one group of students from the BSR - 10 international PhD students piloting the new degree program during the project period e. Dissemination of knowledge - arranging international seminars (covering entrepreneurship, innovations processing, business oriented technical development, etc.) - exchange of researches and experts - arranging 4 Baltic R&D Forums on specific fields of project areas - publishing 4-5 scientific articles - 6 international seminars - 12 excursions - 20 work-shops and round-table meetings

Fostering innovations Millaista apua olette hakemassa? EU:n rahoitusta, BSR ohjelmaehtojen mukaisesti Mitkä ovat projektin päätavoitteet? 1. Yrityshautomot (INC) 2. Teknologian siirto tutkimuksesta yritystoimintaan (TRB) 3. Pk-yritysten osallistumismallit (BSME) 4. Kansainvälinen teknologian ja innovaatiotoiminnan tohtoriohjelma (BEP) 5. Tiedon jakaminen (Katso lisäinformaatiota seuraavilla sivuilla) Mitkä ovat projektin odotetut tuotokset ja tulokset? Odotetut tuotokset: - 8 uutta yrityshautomoa teknologiasiirron rakennetta - kansainvälinen tohtoritutkinto -ohjelma - 6 kansainvälistä seminaaria - 4 Itämeren alueen R&D foorumia - 12 excursiota - 20 work-shoppia ja round-table tapaamista tieteellistä artikkelia Expected results: uutta teknologiaperusteista yritystä uutta teknologista ja/tai liiketoiminnallista innovaatiota uutta pk-yritysten osallistumista - 10 tohtoria Is your project a follow up to a previous project? Ei ole Potentiaaliset partnerit: Belarusian National Science Academy National Technical University of Belarus Poznan Technical University Lulea Technical University Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering HIE-RO Institute at University of Rostock Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Odotetut vaikutukset: A. Teknologiaperusteinen liiketoiminta ja yrittäminen tulevat huomattavasti lisääntymään kussakin hankkeeseen osallistuvassa maassa. Hankkeen aikana luodaan 100 uutta teknologiaperusteista yritystä, aikaansaadaan 200 uutta teknistä ja/tai kaupallista innovaatiota, järjestetään 400 uutta pkyritysten osallistumista ja pilotoidaan 10 tohtoritason uutta kansainvälistä tutkintoa. Nämä järjestelyt luovat pohjan jatkuvalle vahvistuvalle teknologiaperusteisen liiketoiminnan ja yrittäjyyden kehittymiselle hankkeen jälkeen kussakin hankkeeseen osallistuvassa maassa B. Tekninen ja taloudellinen yhteistyö teknologiaperusteisten pk-yritysten ja tutkimus- ja kehitystoimintaa ja koulutusta edustavien organisaatioiden kesken tulee aktivoitumaan. Uudet kansainväliset yhteistyömallit johtavat kasvavaan kansainväliseen kauppaan ja maiden välisiin investointeihin. Uudet pk-yritysten osallistumismallit, uudet liiketoimintamahdollisuudet ja yhteistyö aikaansaavat paljon uusia innovaatioprosesseja pk-yritysten tasolla. Hankkeessa aikaansaadut uudet rakenteelliset järjestelyt teknologiaperusteisen liiketoiminnan ja yrittäjyyden kasvattamiseksi

5 aikaansaavat pitkään kestävän perustan monipuoliselle teolliselle kehittymiselle kussakin hankkeeseen osallistuvassa maassa. C. Tutkimuksen ja kehityksen sekä koulutuksen alueella kansainvälinen yhteistyö vahvistuu. Kansallisten ja alueellisten kehitystulosten vaihtaminen ja kansainvälinen omaksuminen kasvaa huomattavasti (esimerkiksi kansalliset järjestelmät yrittäjyyden ja innovaatioiden lisäämiseksi sekä tieteellisten tulosten soveltamiseksi käytännön liiketoiminnassa). Uusi kansainvälinen tohtoriohjelma lisää innostusta kansainväliseen tieteelliseen ja koulutukseen liittyvään yhteistyöhön. D. Projekti tuottaa vaihtoehtoisia ratkaisuja ja tukea kansallisiin (teknisiin ja/tai liiketoiminnallisiin) ongelmiin, kuten rahoituspalvelut yrittäjille, paikallisen liiketoimintainfrastruktuurin kehittäminen ja energiakysymykset, liikenne- ja logistiikka-asiat, telekommunikaatio ja informaatiotekniikka. Näiden osalta kansallinen fokus on erilainen riippuen siitä, mikä on kunkin osallistuvan maan tilanne ja mitkä ovat paikalliset ongelmat. Lyhyt projektin kuvaus: Projektin ideana on rakentaa kansainvälisiä malleja, joilla vahvistetaan teknologiaperusteisten pk-yritysten perustamista, kasvua ja innovaatioaktiviteetteja ja kansainvälistymistä hankkeeseen osallistuvissa maissa.
