The 4InnoPipe2 consortium brings together the expertise and strengths of long-standing partners from the previous 4InnoPipe project along with new higher education institutions, a business partner, and a non-governmental organization with digital innovation expertise. This diverse network, comprising research-intensive and business-oriented universities, fosters mutual knowledge exchange, best practice sharing, and mentoring among partners.
Such collaboration ensures a comprehensive approach to innovation and entrepreneurship, enabling the strengthening of innovation ecosystems, the development and implementation of new methodologies (e.g., COIN, partner matchmaking), the delivery of high-quality entrepreneurial education, the support of startup creation, and the wide dissemination of project outcomes. This synergistic approach will help achieve the project’s goals by building a sustainable pan-European network and promoting systemic transformation.
This 25-month project, funded under the EIT HEI Initiative, unites a diverse consortium of eight partners, including universities and companies with expertise in business, innovation, agri-food, and pharmaceutical sectors. Project activities focus on management, innovation infrastructure development, network strengthening, entrepreneurial education, and startup support.
Expected outcomes include the development of new methodologies, the establishment of living labs and technology transfer offices, educational courses, and joint incubation programs that will contribute to systemic transformation and the creation of sustainable innovation pipelines.
The overall goal of 4InnoPipe2 is to expand and enhance innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in higher education institutions by integrating regenerative and sustainable innovation practices across all stages of the innovation process. The project aims to drive systemic change by strengthening collaboration networks and equipping participants with tools for a holistic approach to innovation and entrepreneurship.
