Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)

Our Blended Intensive Programme covers Sustainable Computing, including mobile app development, data analytics, and green computing.

Accelerator

Innovative SMEs in all regions participating in Accelerator programmes have problems accessing funding, especially equity capital – particularly in the early stages of business. The project starts by first analysing existing Accelerator programmes in the partner regions and then elaborating joint pilot programmes for the Danube region.

SMART_watch

Smart specialisation means that policies for a specific region focus on that area’s strengths and comparative advantages. SMART-watch seeks to ensure that smart specialisation is part of central Europe’s regional innovation strategies (RIS). The project is funded by the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme.
