The indicators target the four main aspects of: technology, intellectual property, the market and the ability to exploit technology transfer. The development of the indicators is part of the European Union Framework Programme 7 project Bridge-BSR.
Frank Graage, Head of Steinbeis Team North East says the indicators are a major step forward towards building bridges between life science academic research and SMEs in the ScanBalt BioRegion.
“We will now implement the indicators, for example, within environmental life sciences [...] to support the development of a strong eco-industrial sector. Overall, this will promote an effective eco-agenda for the Baltic Sea Region and assist in establishing the region as a frontrunner within a sector that is likely to boom the coming years.”
