Enabling Innovation Münsterland

The funding project

Enabling Innovation was a regional collaborative project that combined the key potentials of the Münsterland in the field of innovation with the aim of structurally and sustainably improving innovation promotion and innovation marketing.

These special potentials for the Münsterland result from a pronounced regional research competence and the highly specialised, mostly medium-sized, economic structure. The focus of the project was to improve the networking of these two innovation drivers and to work together on innovations.

The project offered strategic and practical approaches to solutions that approached the different target groups from business and science from different perspectives (technology push and technology pull). Finally, the project results complemented each other to form a long-term, holistic and sustainable innovation strategy - Enabling Innovation Münsterland.
