Innovation and collaboration: the annual meeting of the AMBITIOUS project in Bologna

The second meeting of the AMBITIOUS project, held in Bologna at The Social Hub, in which Clust-ER Health played a central role, has just concluded. The meeting brought together European partners to explore innovative solutions for SMEs, with a focus on advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G and IoT.

Coordinated by Clust-ER Health, with the collaboration of Clust-ER Innovate, the meeting saw the active participation of numerous stakeholders and ensured a dynamic environment where ideas could flow freely. The meeting started with a series of key presentations by the Italian partners and the External Advisory Board, followed by crucial updates from the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA). During the discussion, highly relevant topics such as project management (Work Package 1) and stakeholder involvement (Work Package 5) were addressed, with a focus on supporting SMEs in adopting state-of-the-art technology solutions.

Communication and dissemination: the key role of Clust-ER Health

As coordinator of Task 6.1 of Work Package 6, Clust-ER Health emphasised the importance of effective communication and dissemination of results. During the working sessions, the need to share the developed solutions not only within the consortium, but also at the European level was emphasised. This is to ensure that innovations are accessible and can be applied on a large scale, fostering the digital growth of European SMEs. In cooperation with Italtel, which is coordinating the WP and will be particularly involved in the exploitation phase, more and more activities will be carried out to ensure that the results and opportunities of the project reach the most interesting stakeholders.

Clust-ER Health also worked to strengthen synergies between partners, a crucial topic discussed during the last day. The integration of technological solutions and data sharing between the various work packages were identified as key elements for the success of the project. Thanks to the efficient management of activities, the foundations were laid for the further development of new demonstration cases, involving even more collaborators within the project.

Continuous communication and commitment to the territory

The work of Clust-ER Health will not stop here. In the coming months, in fact, it will continue to deal with the communication and dissemination of the project results, working closely with its members on the ground. This collaboration will be crucial to ensure that the solutions developed in the AMBITIOUS project have a concrete and widespread impact at local and national level, promoting a wider adoption of innovative technologies among SMEs. Working in synergy with members will allow the scope of dissemination activities to be amplified, ensuring that messages and solutions reach a wider audience.

The Bologna event was an important milestone for the AMBITIOUS project. The socialising moments, such as the dinner at the local restaurant Le Golosità di Nonna Aurora, helped to consolidate ties between the participants, creating a collaborative environment that will be crucial to the future success of the project.

Clust-ER Health will continue to work with partners to ensure that the project results are not only successfully developed, but also effectively communicated and disseminated across Europe. With a focus on sustainable and innovative solutions, the AMBITIOUS project positions itself as a leader in the digital future of European SMEs, and Clust-ER Health is proud to contribute to this far-reaching mission.

In particular, the cluster’s commitment at the local level, through collaboration with its members, will be a key aspect to ensure that the benefits of the project are tangible and concretely applicable in strategic sectors for the area. The dissemination of results through events, workshops and meetings between local and international enterprises will further increase the impact of the project.
