Work Package 4 – Developing tools, methodologies and guidelines

The main objective of WP4 is to identify, design and validate typical tools and guidance material addressing specific issues in innovation and innovation financing related to the needs of RTD active SME in the selected regions. If considered necessary further development of both tools and guidance material will also take place, including assessing the relevance to provide such tools and guidance material in local languages.

WP4 will (re-)examine and validate the tools and guidance material developed under the Gate2Growth initiative by the European Venture Capital Association (EVCA) and the University of Antwerp Management school (UAMS) with regard to the needs of RTD active SME in the selected regions, and evaluate other tools and guidance material already available at the Gate2Growth web site, and from other sources.
