Potential for learning or transfer
Abruzzo4export has shown a good potential for transferability, especially for the training model.
The main element is the creation of horizontal learning communities: the collaboration between companies in the same technological domain and the organizations that provide support can facilitate the exchange of experiences and good practices, making the traditional model of teaching more efficient.
