Things
The initiative represents a "pilot" call, implementing DGR n. 1476 of 11/27/2023, dedicated to companies that already join one of the Regional Innovative Networks recognized by the Veneto Region. It finances the implementation of a specific skills development path for industrial transition and intelligent specialization (S3 Veneto) divided into the following two phases: Phase 1: Innovation check up. The beneficiary company carries out a corporate innovation assessment at its headquarters in order to focus on innovation needs, taking into account the main technological and sustainability challenges. The assessment service is provided by the regional company Veneto Innovazione SpA. At the end of this phase, the company will receive a report of the results that emerge which highlights the specialist services it can use for the subsequent Phase 2. Phase 2: Innovative growth. The results of the previous phase will allow the identification of one or more services to complete the process of acquiring the skills necessary for the innovation of company processes and organizational models. These services are indicated among those included in the "Supplier Catalogue" or in the "Regional List of Temporary Managers, Temporary Export Managers and Innovation Managers" (Temporary Manager and Innovation Manager sections), both published on the regional portal Innoveneto.
