What motivates creatives to settle in industrial regions? How does a training help administrations understand CCI? What strategic ingredients  is a policy maker looking for? 

The brand new InduCCI partnership met for the first time in Padova, Italy! An interesting programme filled with brainstorm sessions, thematic workshops, and study visits throughout Padova has inspired all of us to initiate the project in our home regions!

CCI policies (strategies, support offers,...) are a challenging subject due to the novelty of the branch itself, and to the non-conform characteristics of CCI. InduCCI will need to develop new, or improve existing, policies with the support and input of a stakeholder network.

Industrial regions are  not seen as  thriving and attractive places for CCI. Locating companies there would diversify the economic structure while adding an extra dimension of innovation. InduCCI will promote CCI as an external partner for innovation within industry.

Over time, long-standing industrial regions have developed a distinct culture containing both assets and obstacles for the upcoming industrial transformation. InduCCI focusses on CCI in helping people to become more open to innovation, change and entrepreneurhsip.
