18. WIINTECH: Project learnings
Achievements
Identified difficulties
Next steps
Establishment of bridges,
privileged contacts
Difficult for SMEs to invest
in countries (e.g. Brazil )
Soft landing involving incubators’
centres: inward and outward
Attract companies from the
selected countries
Very good experience to
share, model of action to
propose
Countries selected might
not be appropriate for
everybody
Have large groups mentoring SMEs
in countries like Brazil
The model can be
extended to other
geographical areas as it
works
8 partners in the
consortium vs 3-4 for the
other projects, different
views
Have a political support to develop
towards OEM in Brazil, India…and
to prepare the collaboration with
China
Foster and develop the
relationships with the
identified partners (within
MOUs)
Difficulty to involve SMEs
in the project
Opportunities between members of
the consortium

19. Metaclusters learnings
Difficulties:
• To share the same vision
• To design a common branding of the project
• To be able to define the group as a whole
Achievements:
• Cluster team building effort leading to a real effective European network
• Very positive feedbacks from the trips outside of Europe: background of the EC and
involved partners
• Signatures of MOUs: international network in Brazil, USA, India and Japan
• European gateway for research organizations, universities and companies
Next steps:
• Reinforced collaboration between the European clusters : shared activities, common actions
in trade fairs, co-organization of events…
• Shared offices outside of Europe
• Outgoing missions
• Increasing involvement of companies European and international sides B2B events
