WHAT IS NUCLEI?

NUCLEI stands for "Network of Technology Transfer Nodes for Enhanced Open Innovation in the Central European Advanced Manufacturing and Processing Industry".

NUCLEI aims to establish a transnational innovation management model in Central European regionsa and to create a transnational pool of knowledge that supports advanced manufacturing innovation beyond regional borders. 

This will increase economic interdependencies among seven regions and encourage more effective transnational value chains in automotive, electrical industry, IT sector, robotic and mechanic automation. Such joint knowledge sourcing approach will help the 7 NUCLEI industrial clusters and its end-beneficiaries (corporations, SMEs, R&D performers) generate new consortia/business deals for executing bold technological, product and market projects. The creation of a broad and collaborative environment, initially tested by 100  companies from 7 regions, is expected to:

  • Increase linkages with innovators beyond regional borders of the project regions 
  • Accelerate the time-to-market of R&D concepts from EU-funded research and Central European labs to companies 
  • Increase R&D expenditure and patent applications of mid-term turnover
  • Create thematic focus groups as regional managers
  • Collaborate on transnational technology transfer
