Overview

Project Rationale
Innovation is vital to scientific development and economic growth
To be sustainable, innovation requires wider and transnational collaboration
Need to focus on the catalyst role of creative industries
Project Rationale
The Creative City Challenge project aims to identify, develop and test strategies aimed at the development of competitive, innovation-based urban and regional economies in the NSR
Background
The Lisbon agenda aims to make the EU the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010
Recognises innovation as a key driver of the economic performance in the current economy
Background Cities strive to place the 'creative city' concept
on their policy agenda and on improving entrepreneurship in creative industries
6.4m working in the creative sector across the EU mostly in 1.4m micro-enterprises and start ups
But an integrated, evidence-based strategy for cities to strengthen this innovative capacity still appears to be missing
Aims To build and implement a strategy for innovation
and creativity Using a methodology of pilot projects developed
and carried out across the NSR Providing a transnational programme for the
exchange of learning, materials and best practice
Applying a transnational triple helix of government, education and business
Objectives
Foster creativity Promote transnational activity Exchange learning, materials and best
practice Create an integrated, evidence-based
strategy for cities to strengthen innovative capacity
