A catalyst for regional development
The mission of the European Knowledge Economy Platform is to support regional governments who have a knowledge economy vision, but encounter challenges in the process of turning ideas into concrete actions and tangible results.
An action focussed approach to unleash Europe’s potential
To tackle Europe’s knowledge paradox, EUKEP builds unexpected bridges between governments, business, universities and research centres. The hidden potential of EU-regions will be unleashed through IMPACT Initiatives. Open networks that foster innovation are brought together and facilitated through a group of inter-disciplinary and result oriented consultants. The approach is targeted at rapid result projects as well as sustainable growth by applying methodologies to monitor and manage progress.
Focus on where we can have the biggest impact
EUKEP focuses its support capabilities on the following areas:
- Energy and Sustainability
- Creative Industries
- Healthcare
Connecting people and visions to actions
Many EU-regions have ‘Think’-Tanks that created awareness as well as a vision for its regional knowledge economy. However, the translation of that vision into actions remains a challenging task. EUKEP is a ‘Do’-tank that builds alliances between stakeholders in the European community based on tangible projects.
