D4.0 – Exploring Opportunities with Cohort 2 Project C-ACCELERATE

This Deliverable Report (4.0) aims to provide a summary of the actions undertaken in relation to building partnerships between the INCREDIT project and consortium with the Aalto coordinated, Cohort 2 EIT-HEI Initiative Project CACCELERATE. There are interesting synergetic possibilities to connect the two projects with, as while INCREDIT has a specific focus towards innovation and entrepreneurship in deep tech, C-ACCELERATE investigates the thematic areas of the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) with a specific focus on the film industry as many of the partners within C-ACCELERATE also form the Film EU University Alliance.

Connecting closely with INCREDIT’s KPI on new partnerships, the idea in Phase 1 of the project was to introduce the two project consortiums to each other, explore possible synergies (such as joint teaching, sharing of best practices, knowledge sharing, and more), and establish concrete action points that could be executed in Phase 2 of the INCREDIT Project. Already in Phase 1, there were 3 key action points/events organized that served as a bridge to bring the two projects together namely, 1) initial discussions and planning at the EIT Kick-off Meeting in Prague, 2) Joint Discussions during the Phase 1 Project Meeting at Aalto University, and 3) the Aalto Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Event in August 2023.
