SPINIT









Boosting smart specialization and encouraging Spinoffs in IT across Danube Region









 

Acronym: SpinIT
Framework: Danube Reginal Programme
Duration of the project: 01.01.2024 - 30.06.2026

Aim of the project:

The SpinIT project, launched to address significant territorial disparities in the Danube Region, is poised to revolutionize innovation, knowledge exchange, and technological development. The project's primary focus is on less developed areas, particularly in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, where disparities in innovation capacity and isolation of ecosystems persist.
SpinIT's aims to directly influence innovation intermediaries, start-ups, SMEs, and advanced ecosystems; engage a wide range of stakeholders; and raise awareness about the benefits of ecosystem linkages and skills development aligned with Smart Specialization Strategies.

Strategic Focus: IT, Industry 4.0, and Cross-Sector Collaboration
The project operates in 10 locations across 9 countries in the Danube Region, recognizing that regional challenges require a transnational approach. SpinIT promotes knowledge exchange and transnational implementation of pilot projects to support digitalization, smart specialization, and sustainable development in the region as a whole. SpinIT strategically collaborates with other projects and initiatives, drawing from completed and ongoing initiatives, and utilizing existing networks to avoid duplication of effort.
