ACTIONS FOR GROWTH

Descripció del projecte

The aim of this cooperative project is to enable five CWP companies to identify strategic challenges and to support them in the implementation of a strategic innovation project or to strengthen their activity by entering new markets or sectors. The CWP has in this project an example of how it can act as a platform for companies to promote strategic innovation or innovation in their business model. The CWP companies that have participated in the project are: Lavola, Protecmed, Laboratori Oliver-Rodes, Hidrotec i Adasa.

Specifically, the project was developed in three distinct phases:

• Phase 1. Training and cooperative work between the participating companies. Initial identification of new business opportunities by an expert consultant, in this case with the support of LTC Project.
• Phase 2. Individual projects for the initial implementation of a project to enter new international markets, new business segments or new business opportunities. Each company selected a project and worked with an expert consultant.
• Phase 3: Sharing results among participants and dissemination in the CWP.

The project has been carried out between 2014 and 2015 and has been supported by ACCIO in its line for the competitive improvement of clusters. Among the projects carried out there has been the promotion of an internationalisation plan for an engineering company in Colombia, the introduction of a new technology in Spain for an innovative solution for canonades, a new business line of on-line training, the strategic change in the international distribution network or the promotion of a new business line of co-sustainability.
