About the Project

 

PoWER – Ports as driving Wheels of Entrepeneurial Realm – is a European project co-financed by the INTERREG V B ADRION Programme.

 

The PoWER project has addressed the ADRION Programme Priority Innovative and Smart Region by developing and testing a new methodology and strategy supporting the evolution of Adriatic-Ionian ports into so-called “Innovation Hubs”.

 

According to the project concept, the state of “Innovation Hub” is basically an attitude of a port towards change which implies the commitment to a three-steps methodology to address topic-specific needs, i.e.:

·         needs mapping;

·         ideas and solutions scouting;

·         scenarios foresight.

 

The project has been implemented by nine partners from six participating countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy and Serbia) and tested in six pilot ports (Bari, Brcko, Durres, Igoumenitsa, Ravenna and Rijeka) on the topic of energy efficiency.

PoWER fosters collaboration among the key actors of the “Innovation Supply Chain“, i.e. education & research institutions, enterprises and public administration, both at the local and transnational level – in order to exploit the yet untapped entrepreneurial potential of these port areas.

The objective of the project was not only to act at local level on single ports/future innovation hubs, but to have local stakeholders cooperate with each other on topics of common interest, thus creating the PoWER Innovation Hubs Network.
