Difficulties encountered
Initially was supported by Achaia Chamber of Commerce and University of Patras, and was funded by own resources. In the last 2 years it has attracted the interest of stakeholders and important political and academic bodies creating a dynamic co-operation scheme.
Potential for learning or transfer
Effective practice transfer must include the establishment of a strong collaboration among the representatives of the 4 helix pillars, namely:
1. Research actors (universities, technological institutes, research centers etc.)
2. Entrepreneurship actors (chambers, industry representatives, incubators, accelerators etc.)
3. Policy making actors (ministries, regions, municipalities etc.)
4. Open social actors (students’ communities, start-up ecosystems, associations, clubs etc.)
