From 10 to 13 November, INDESCAT has participated in a new face-to-face meeting of the I3-INSHAPE project in Eindhoven, in the framework of the ELIS Pitch Stop Event organised by Cluster Sports & Technology.
In this meeting, the representative ‘Flagships’ from each region that were selected at the beginning of the project, met for the first time with their co-developers, companies that have recently joined the project to provide them with services.
The participating organisations have carried out work dynamics, with experts in various areas, with the aim of reinforcing joint innovations. Three companies from the cluster are represented: Onalabs Inno-Hub, Clubs Eurofitness, and SevenMila.
During the event, the ELIS Innovation Summit also took place. INDESCAT's internationalisation specialist, Montserrat Centellas, participated as a speaker and presented the next phase of the I3-INSHAPE project: an Open Call for companies, promoted by INDESCAT and ACCIÓ, scheduled to be launched in early 2025. In this phase, 24 companies will be sought to present interregional innovation projects that respond to relevant challenges that have been defined within the sport and physical activity sector.
On 19 December, INDESCAT and ACCIÓ are organising an information session to explain the call for proposals. SIGN UP!
