6AIKA: TRY OUT! Circular economy and cleantech experiments with cities and business networks \u2013 functional business models emerged project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project built<\/p>\n\n\n\n

an innovation platform based on a culture of experimentation <\/strong>and co-creation, with a testing environment<\/strong>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which offers an opportunity to experiment with new kinds of circular economy and cleantech business models, cross-sectoral operating methods and forms of cooperation, the most functional of which will survive and advance to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Promoting the creation of a circular economy and cleantech innovation platform<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Looking for functional circular economy and cleantech business opportunities by experimenting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Enabling the emergence of new market-driven solutions and services<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Implementing product development, innovation or commercialisation cooperation between cities, companies, higher education institutions, other RDI actors and customers in a concrete way that supports pioneering<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Increasing business in the theme, employment and thus the well-being of the regions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Measures will be taken to promote system-level change in cities and higher education institutions, both in development activities in general and in the development of the circular economy and cleantech in particular<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • From the perspective of small companies:\u00a0<\/strong>A development programme where you can co-develop with potential customers and business partners, receive mentoring from larger companies and provide an opportunity for experiments that provide valuable development information and references.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • From the point of view of large companies:\u00a0<\/strong>A new kind of R&D&I work in the form of light corporate venturing: a view of new solution providers, the development of the industry\/world, “reverse mentoring” (vs. research collaboration or the acquisition of startups).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • From the university’s point of view<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>New content and operating models for business cooperation, a development channel for science-based companies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Implementers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Turku University of Applied Sciences, Demos Helsinki, University of Turku, University of Helsinki<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Project code: A72153, implementation period: 1.8.2016 \u2013 31.10.2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n
