In 2006, NGI joined INNO-Net “Valor”. Valor compares valorisation practices in fifteen Member States of the EU and enhances the exchange of good practices.
Valor will in the near future provide funding for pilot projects testing good practices. Valor improves the quality and effectiveness of NGI’s current valorisation practice.
Key project activities
In order to overcome the current disjunction of the European Innovation Policy, the Valor consortium will undertake the following key activities:
- To develop a reference model for a European Valorisation process;
- To develop and validate a common good practice guidance;
- To develop a joint Initiative on Entrepreneurship (training of 75 entrepreneurs);
- To establish and launch a Pilot programme on the new Valorisation methodology (to support 45 Valorisation projects and to provide a funding to 30 of them);
- To develop and evaluate the formation and operation of a joint trans-national fund of € 5 million;
- To establish a common Agenda and Joint Action Plan for European knowledge Valorisation (through a network of Valorisation stakeholders)
