diRete Project
INNOVATION is the main engine for a regional sector which aims at competitiveness, long term economic growth and employment.
The “diRETE” project means to maximise technological transfer opportunities, enhance research and innovation products through the “network” between the academic sector, which generates research, and the potentially innovative PMI by an interaction through:
1) a needs recognition phase (30 october 2015)
2) a following phase in which the research findings are determined and which are to be transferred into the business world in terms of technology, formative programmes and actions aiming at increasing the innovatiion capacity of the enterprise.
The diRETE project has been allocated to the three Sicilian Universities.
In this sector the “Distretto Tecnologico Sicilia Micro e Nano Sistemi” is carrying out one of the survey actions. The objective of the survey is to define some significant statistical indicators in terms of inclination to innovation, needs, obstacles, etc….. by mapping the Sicilian enterprises which operate in the project supply, production, research and development chain of products and/or innovative services.
