Europe has vast innovation potential. It has a long-standing tradition of breakthrough inventions. Its home to a wealth of creative people and it can capitalise on excellent research and cultural diversity. Yet, Europe does not fully benefit from these advantages, partly because research results and ideas of universities, labs, companies and inventors are often not used and turned into services and products. Making Knowledge Work (MKW) aims to bridge this gap within the innovation chain through exchange of know-how and concrete policy actions involving key stakeholders and innovation actors in the 12 partner regions of the project.
The MKW project aims at contributing to the creating of a European Innovation Union by exploiting ideas and fostering smart, sustainable growth.
Thanks to its good practise database and to its disseminations activities, it spreads the importance of collaboration among regions in bringing knowledge and innovative ideas to the market more successfully.
By exchanging experience on how regions support the process of commercialisation of ideas and R&D results, MKW develops and improves methods and capacities in the field of innovation and the knowledge economy.
