The future of European competitiveness is built on today’s investment in research and innovation. I welcome the clear messages of the Heitor Report. The Report recommends stimulating more industrial RD&I investment, underpinned by state-of-the-art Technology Infrastructures and many other important suggestions for the next months and years ahead.   At the Prosperity directorate we do our best to make this happen.

Let’s talk about the project CREACTIVE that brings together a unique platform of partners from the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) sector and other key industrial ecosystems. This initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of processes and technologies for a greener and more digital economy. 🌿💻   The consortium, consisting of three innovative partners, offers complementary innovation and digital services, bolstered by an official external service provider selected by Friend CCI. Together, they cover the entire spectrum of SMEs’ twin transition needs, ensuring they are well-equipped for the future. 🤝🌐 🔗 What does CREACTIVE aim to achieve? Connect: Linking EU Cultural and Creative Industries SMEs with deep tech innovative companies and key sectors like digital, electronics, health, aerospace, and defence. Transform: Facilitating the adoption of digital solutions and innovative components in business models, accelerating the digital transition. Internationalize: Providing SMEs with market access and opportunities in Asia through internationalization and specialized training services. The project takes a cross-sectoral approach, enhancing the uptake of digital solutions and driving forward the digital transformation of SMEs in the CCI sector. With strong foundations in existing European cooperation projects such as Eurocluster activities and EDIH, and leveraging subsidiaries in Romania (GAC Group) and Japan (external service provider), CREACTIVE is poised to propel European SMEs to new heights. 🚀🌟   FRIEND CCI is co-financed by the SMP program of the #EuropeanUnion.
