  15. …some lessons learnt • Transnational scheme is useful to stimulate and support SMEs to internationalize and get in contact with international advanced systems and business environment. • Transnational scheme is considered simple and quick. • Transnational scheme as PPI with involvement of end users is a good instrument for the application of a quadruple helix approach. • The Voucher gave the chance to young researcher who wants to build up something new to: get in contact with new players, meet others with similar ideas, merge them and raise with something better , build first prototypes. • The Voucher pushed SMEs to work in the specific sectors of S3. • The Voucher helped Regions to: establish a new open market centralized mostly to SMEs and boost active cooperation among all involved actors, offer high-quality knowledge facilities or services that probably would not have been available in the region.

  16. …some lessons learnt • SME needs support to develop innovation and deal with foreign KP POSSIBLESOLUTION: Have an expert/facilitator that help SME in the application and in the choice of foreign KP • Regions are different, the call should be UNIFIED but FLEXIBLE and built on common EU standard/regulation POSSIBLESOLUTION: Draft a common framework that can be tailored to local needs and economic situation within a EU label of innovation voucher scheme • Knowledge provider need to be “certified” POSSIBLESOLUTION: Use existing platform for certification • Voucher schemes linked to specific sectorial needs have to be managed by specialized managers POSSIBLESOLUTION: Contract expert to support the scheme • Voucher scheme as it is do not stimulate itself innovation and may have a limited impact POSSIBLESOLUTION: Plan a process of support for innovation capacities
