Diagnosis: In regional Light Foresight Analyses, common strategic issues for the support of innovation and SME development are identified.
Engineering: Opportunities for common actions are identified. Special focus is directed to the barriers to such common actions to find possibilities to overcome them and to find ways for the implementation.
Pilot Actions and Monitoring: Implementation and action plans are elaborated and tested in joint mentoring pilot actions and lessons learnt are drawn.
