ActionAction
Born from the ERIK / ERIK+ Network (European Regions Knowledge
Based Innovation Network):
• 51 regions, 4 TWGs, 3 international conferences, 11 study visits, 8
workshops, 1 web site, publications and newsletter, database with 60
GPs, methodology to analyse and compare innovation policies.
ERIK Network SWOT analysis:
• ERIK had been successful in standard networking and exchange but it
was time to move to concrete actions focusing on specific theme.

ActionActionProject Theme:Project Theme:Upgrading Innovation Capacity in Existing FirmsUpgrading Innovation Capacity in Existing Firms
Project theme comes from in-depth analysis of partners’ strengths /
needs:
• Addressing problem of limited competitiveness and innovation
capacity/investment in European enterprises
• Guiding culture, human resources and management capabilities
towards innovation
• Concentrating not developing a comprehensive innovation support
system: innovation/business strategy, knowledge management,
innovation finance, HR management and training models and an
innovation friendly environment

ActionAction
11 regions, 10 European countries, involving ROP Managing Authorities:
• All partners identified innovation as a key priority in regional
development and confirmed the importance of the project theme
• Partners identified common needs, but vary in knowledge, economic
strength and governance, a gap which ERIK ACTION will go some way to
bridging
Cooperation with Romania – South East Romania Development Agency:
• Desire to build on positive experience in previous projects
• SE RDA considers ERIK ACTION as best follow-up RIS project
• Support from Ministry of Development, Public Works and Housing
(Managing Authority for ROP 2007 – 2013)
