In January 2017 Norwegian Smart Care Cluster received an international project grant from the BSR Innovation Express program with Welfaretech in Odense Denmark as cooperation partner.
NorDen 3C (Norway - Denmark Caretech Cluster Collaboration) is a Norwegian Danish cluster-to-cluster collaboration between Norwegian Smart Care Cluster and Welfare Tech.
The aim is to support the internationalisation of SME’s (Small and medium-sized enterprises) by sharing market insight, matchmaking and/or supporting SME’s participation in research and development (R&D) projects.
The project give NSCCs members a more profound insight to the Danish market, and it creates a unique platform for identification of strategic potential partners in Scandinavia.
The project implements a shared Small Medium Enterprise internationalisation strategy encompassing four activities:
1) A strategy for internationalising SME market access in Denmark, Norway and beyond to third
markets (notably Germany and Poland)
2) Facilitating joint R&D projects involving SMEs for European projects.
3) A cluster collaboration on test and validation of SME innovations.
4) The fourth activity will investigate the potential to expand this internationalisation strategy to a Nordic network of welfare tech clusters.
The project are in its startup phase and we will start engaging our members i Q1 as we land the project activities.
