Interconnected Nord-Est Innovation Ecosystem - iNEST
The iNEST Innovation Ecosystem Consortium, for the implementation of the research programme as an "Innovation Ecosystem", aims to extend the benefits of digital technologies to the main areas of specialisation of North-East Italy: the industrial-manufacturing, agriculture, sea, mountain, construction, tourism, culture, health and food sectors. The interconnection of local ecosystems at macro-regional level makes it possible to work on a shared "digital vision" for the benefit of the economy and citizens, with local smart specialisation strategies to be brought together in a shared mission for the North-East. It is made up of 11 founding members, 9 universities and three bodies, with the University of Padua as the proposing founding body.
