The overall IB INNO project objective is the establishment of a feasible and effective service for enhancing the innovation management capacity of SMEs in the Balearic Islands region. This will benefit the smart growth in the European Union by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of investments in research, development and innovation and by contributing to a better and more efficient connection of stakeholders in the innovation fabric. In order to realize this objective, the core actions are broken down as follows: • Help SMEs to sustainable high growth through innovation. • Achieve tangible managerial transformation. • Improve the commercial potential of SMEs. IB INNO will act as access point to the innovation and internationalization system in the Balearic Islands region, which will be in this new period covered by Balearic Islands Enterprise Network B2EN consortium, embedding the EEN innovation services in the regional innovation ecosystem.

Through the eHealth Eurocampus project IT and health professionals were trained for the challenge of fostering a spirit of innovation in eHealth in Europe as the way forward to ensure better health and better and safer care, and relevant material was developed and is now available for other schools to benefit from it. The main objectives of the eHealth Eurocampus were to improve the relevance and quality of higher education in the field of ICT applications for health, to foster employability through curricula adaptation to labour market needs and to develop entrepreneurship skills. The project partners included 8 higher education institutions, which represented 7 IT schools (Barcelona School of Informatics, Polytechnic School of the Balearic Islands, Polytech Engineer School of Montpellier, ISIS Engineering School of Castres, Glyndwr University of Wales, Hochschule Ulm, and the Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus) and 3 medical schools (Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the Balearic Islands, Medical School of Cyprus, Sant Joan de Déu School of Nursing - Barcelona), a regional centre of technological development and entrepreneurship promotion (Bit Foundation of Mallorca), and a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC Euroregion Pyrenees-Mediterranean). The consortium represented different European health management systems, which was an asset to form professionals aware of the European diversity in this area and prepared to adapt themselves to different environments and to find jobs outside their own country.The eHealth Eurocampus implemented new and innovative teaching methods that were previously tested through three Summer Schools and are now available to be used on different master courses. They cover all the main areas of eHealth: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in eHealth, IT for a Longer Independent Life, eHealth Applications and Tools, Robotics for Healthcare, and Graphics and Medical Imaging.The project direct beneficiaries were IT and health students and teachers, who have received special training, as well as patients in general, in particular elderly people and people with physical and cognitive disabilities, who will benefit from the outcomes of the research conducted within the consortium. The results and dissemination activities were designed to ensure that the eHealth Eurocampus has an impact on both participating and outside organisations. All the results are openly accessible through a specific website, which will make it easy for other universities to exploit the methods and materials developed within the project: http://ehealtheurocampus.eu/ Version en français en annexe: eHEC_SUMMARY.docx

This proposal offers a peer learning excercise between 3 innovation agencies from small regions in the South, the North and the Centre of Europe. By means of the proven Twinning + methodology they'll focus on the common challenge of the design of innovation support for SME’s operating in crossborder business value chains. In small regions, business value chains cross easily the regional borders, so SMEs have to be agile to fit these in order to grow. Stimulating business value chains is one of the policy actions of the EU Strategic Work Program. This proposal aims to 1. learn about this sub-type of SMEs 2. investigate the current mix of instruments to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship 3. understand the criteria of ‘value chain-fitness’ 4. discuss novel approaches in the public innovation support system and make recommandations for other innovation agencies. The mutual policy learning and exchange of ‘good practices’ will enhance the transfer of good practices in SME support which is one of the specific challenge of the work programme. Futhermore, since innovation agencies are important intermediaries to SMEs, the peer learning will contribute to make public support for innovation in the EU more effectively. An information “exchange” workshop with testimonials from SMEs and economic/innovation experts will give some insights in the real needs of those SMEs. Subsequently, the participants will do a small field research in their region. The information gathered will be displayed on a digital platform working as a community of practice. Finally, the participants perform the peer learning in a 2days session collaborating together in an equal relationship and discuss novel approaches in relation to the topic. In the end, a Design Options Paper documents the implementation options and guidelines that the partners in the challenge have experienced and would recommend to other innovation agencies.

The overall IBINNO project objective is the establishment of a feasible and effective service for enhancing the innovation management capacity of SMEs in the Balearic Islands region. This will benefit the smart growth in the European Union by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of investments in research, development and innovation and by contributing to a better and more efficient connection of stakeholders in the innovation fabric. The work is plan based on two work packages conducted for the two types of service that will be offered to two different groups of companies: • Beneficiaries of the SME Instrument, FTI and FET-Open. • SMEs with significant innovation activities and/ or a high potential for internationalisation. IBINNO H2020 envisages a reinforced link with the B2EN COSME, and by combining both programme support, the B2EN Consortium in the Balearic Islands will become a one-stop-shop for business and innovation support along the entire value chain. The Consortium will integrate both H2020 and COSME programme activities implementing a common client-centric approach on a “hub and spoke model” structure and applying the Network client journey when necessary. IBINNO will act as access point to the innovation and internationalization system in the Balearic Islands region, which will be in this new period covered by Balearic Islands Enterprise Network B2EN consortium, embedding the EEN innovation services in the regional innovation ecosystem.
