A great opportunity to strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs in the tourism and cultural heritage sector; the available calls for proposals put in place by the e.INS Spoke2 project, which is part of the e.INS - Ecosystem of Innovation for Next Generation Sardinia Spoke 2 ecosystem, were presented this morning in the UniOlbia main hall.
The measure, funded by the PNRR and coordinated by the University of Sassari, aims to promote the economic growth of Sardinia by focusing on tourism and cultural heritage.
The works were opened by the General Director of Cipnes, Aldo Carta, who introduced the Rector of the University of Sassari, Gavino Mariotti.
"We are here to unite Sassari, Alghero, Olbia and the upper Gallura, the entire North which is the productive part of Sardinia. It is a project of 127 million euros in total, divided into spokes - said Mariotti - The particular attention for Gallura is given by its stimulus, its continuous contact with these themes. Going outside the walls and dealing with the territories in terms of planning and culture, is a duty of the University". "A closeness, ours - reiterated the Rector - which materializes in actions, I hope that many companies can participate".
Scientific coordinator of the ecosystem for the University of Sassari, Professor Veronica Camerada. « More than a project, it is a real regional program - she explains - Our general ecosystem is made up of ten thematic areas, we deal with tourism and cultural heritage, we carry out research and transfer and technological care activities in favor of this type of business. The industrial researchers who have been recruited within the ecosystem carry out specific themes related to specific classes of business. The same goes for local authorities, giving life to co-design activities with us that aim to strengthen innovation and the competitive profile of the business using the drivers of digitalization with specific themes identified from time to time according to the vocation of the places ».
