Eseia eCANDO
Regions will provide the service of linking the knowledge generation community and business partners with regions in order to facilitate implementation of ground breaking systemic innovation by efficiently linking partners from universities, innovation institutions and business with regions.
Our Mission
By 2012 eseia intends to be active in 10 regions of Europe that will be acting as innovation labs in partnership with regional players, businesses, institutions and society. By 2015 eseia will have developed an innovative method to integrate the necessary knowledge development, education and information measures. By 2019 the running labs will be converted into implementation at a wider scale in the active regions, running as models for the whole of Europe and globally.
