Welcome to Ecce Innovation

The Ecce Innovation Project seeks to promote and develop new markets for small businesses and actors in the creative, artistic and cultural fields.

It aims to accelerate innovative B2B linkages, to increase the involvement of creative SME in public procurement bids as well as to promote new investment schemes for the creative sector and to develop innovative partnerships between creative industries, higher education and research.

To promote these new connections Ecce Innovation has established and trained a network of transfer agents that now operates across the partner regions to support and advise creative actors and businesses. Additional tools to help realise creative ideas and turn them into successful businesses and projects are: an Ecce Innovation Award and a system of creative vouchers that will support access to knowledge and research for creative entrepreneurs.

This project promotes an interdisciplinary approach within higher education, with pilot projects to sponsor joint teaching methods amongst higher education institutes in the creative field and to develop a new European Art-Business training approach based in Nantes.

Led by Nantes Métropole, Ecce regroups the cities of Aachen, Cardiff, Dublin, Eindhoven, Stuttgart, the Yorkshire based CIDA and Birmingham City University. It runs from 2009 until the end of 2011.
