Project Purpose
Many small and medium-sized enterprises face challenges in generating growth and fostering innovation, particularly within areas such as digitalization and sustainability. Hospitals engaged in innovation projects encounter similar issues. By reaching out to and recruiting companies and institutions within green transition, digitalization, life sciences, and tourism, the project will provide education and resources to accelerate innovation. The project expects to train 200 employees across approximately 80 companies and public organizations.

At UCN, we will engage with the project in collaboration with lecturers, external stakeholders, partners, and students. Activities may take the form of longer programs spanning a semester or shorter courses of three weeks’ duration. UCN Innovation will facilitate the competence development, tailoring it to the relevant actors involved. As an outcome of these activities, the aim is to develop a model for co-education, enabling students and employees to jointly acquire the skills necessary to work in a development-oriented manner within the four focus areas: sustainability, digitalization, health, and tourism.
