About this good practice
It is observed that in Calabria there are brilliant ideas and lines of research of great interest and scientific impact but with little capacity to industrialization projects developed by the research centers.
The goal of the action is to transform research results into real products or services to improve and to make Calabrian SMEs grow. INGEGNO path start through a call addressed to researcher from public universities and public research organization and it develops in 4 phases:
PHASE 1. Detection of scientific research results at a development stage between TRL 4 (Technology validated in lab) and TRL 7 (System prototype demonstration in operational environment). The scientific results need to be inherent to the areas of the S3 Calabria.
PHASE 2. Evaluation of the coherence with the S3 Calabria and minimum TRL of 4 (necessary to access to the path).
PHASE 3. Analysis related to the applicative potential of the solution and a public platform (http://www.convalideindustriali.it/) of research results aimed at SMEs.
PHASE 4. Partnership management between SMEs and research groups in the definition of the business plan for the intellectual property plan and financial plan aimed at the realization of the project for the exploitation of research results (industrial proof).
Beneficiaries: Research groups or individual researchers from public universities and Public Research Institutions (PRIs), SMEs.

Potential for learning or transfer
This practice is considered interesting because it can be a tool used to facilitate the relationship of SMEs with the innovation supply system for the development of R&D activities and to encourage the use of services offered by highly specialized solutions.
The enhancement path is exclusively dedicated to the research results falling within one or more of the eight Innovation Areas of the Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) of the Calabria Region.
The researches can fill a research form and it will be published in the INGEGNO showcase (http://www.convalideindustriali.it/), which will always be open and will be periodically enriched with new industrial research results.
