1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays the contribution of digital technologies is crucial, as they are changing the world of industrial production with the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. The purpose of SMART-SPACE project is to improve the framework conditions for innovation in the Alpine Space area. The project intends to strengthen the cooperation within the innovation system to promote smart digital solutions in traditional industrial sectors. An Alpine strategic partnership will be set up to implement a common action plan to be supported by a Digital Innovation Hub, a competence center to assist all innovation actors to trigger Alpine growth and wellness through digitalization processes and efforts. 1.1. Target groups of a project SMART-SPACE is not about project partners, it is about promotion of digitization, awareness of importance of digitization processes as well as an increase in digitization capacities in the following target groups: - business support organizations, - local public authorities, - regional public authorities, - national public authorities, - sectoral agencies (Technology transfer and Innovation agencies, Technology Parks...), - higher education and research, - SME (from textile, chemical and mechanical sectors, digital and media sectors, agro-food and green-tech sectors), - education/training centers and schools. 1.2. The strategic role of This strategy is developed to support the project partners and activities in reaching the project objectives and to support the management and cooperation within the partnership in principle to maximize project impacts. also supports the transfer of outputs and developed results to target groups not directly involved in the project. With the, we optimize the results and outputs of SMART-SPACE. In SMART-SPACE activities are seen as a vital basis for the success of the project, as they help in building strong relationships with target groups and stakeholders; as well as support the achievement of the project and Programme objectives. The objectives of SMART-SPACE activities are: - To increase cooperation and participation of Alpine innovation stakeholders on smart manufacturing processes. - To address policy makers, SMEs and other innovation stakeholders by awareness and actions on smart technologies and related digitization topics. 4
- To develop intermediaries competences to assist SMEs in their efforts related to digital technologies and smart solutions is also an objective of the project. - To promote smart manufacturing innovation processes in Alpine Space SMEs and during the project several awareness actions, events, workshops and publications will be addressed to them. 1.3. within the project SMART-SPACE The present document is designed to support the overall and specific and visibility objectives of the project, as we know that the success and sustainability of the project depend also on the widespread awareness and dissemination of results e.g. activities that inform target groups. The should be strong among the partners, relevant stakeholders and target groups. activities are aimed at detailing the structure and the goals of the two main levels of the project strategy: - Internal within the SMART-SPACE project team to communicate effectively with all project partners on general project related issues, to inform partners about the actual status and activities and share the information between the partners. - External with interested project target groups, stakeholders, end-users and general public to promote effective dissemination of results and information relative to the development of the project to all target groups, to encourage active participation of stakeholders, policy makers and other parties and to support and enlarge the network of end users. 1.4. Involvement of project partners in All partners are involved in the efforts of the project. Based on prepared templates and guidelines, project partners will be assigned project tasks on a yearly basis and will verify and communicate implementation of those tasks to the WP leader. Groups of partners will be assigned and verified at project meetings for joint efforts.
