Tiivistelmä
’BioBoosters – Boosting Circular Transition’ project has offered a unique co-operation opportunity for nine regions with smart specialisation strategies aiming at circular transition of bioeconomy sectors, in order to offer to these territorial structures new and future-oriented development opportunities. The project connected these regional innovation systems across the Baltic Sea Region to a joint open innovation platform tackling business-driven circular transition challenges. After intense, international, and iterative two-year piloting, the BioBoosters are ready to share the conclusions on the lessons learned.
In this publication, we explore the relevance, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the BioBoosters hackathon model and the inter-regional co-operation supporting has been explored. The analysis is based on data and feedback from 18 challenge provider companies, nearly 100 mentored teams and over 500 industry and research specialists connected. From what makes this hackathon model impactful – to the added value of international network, this publication features the best practices of BioBoosters joint endeavour.
As the BioBoosters project is soon ending, it is clear for the partners that the collectively accumulated know-how on open innovation, circular bioeconomy paradigm and inter-regional smart specialization – the co-operation will continue to make an impact in the BioBoosters community for years to come.
