Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The provinces Salzburg (AT) & North Rhine-Westfalia (GE) are collaborating at political level and through economic partnerships. BRIDGE2GEO intensifies the existing links and initiates science-business partnerships within and between the regions in order to enhance S&T-based development. The cross-cutting topic is Geographic Information. Building on earlier joint actions, technological developments & recent trends in advanced visualisation and social interaction in web2.0 will be bridged (social nets, Wikis, Second Life). Within five Strategic Networks the benefit of GI-technology will be brought to different economic sectors with affinity to selected competence priorities of the two regions. Strategies, communication & business models will be elaborated via the challenging “GIS 2.0 window” to promote implementation of GI-services. Special regard will be given to the European GMES initiative. Universities, research institutes and SMEs in both regions are strong players in the standardization initiatives OGC and INSPIRE. In BRIDGE2GEO the regions strengthen their structural support of RTD activities intensifying the role of RTD in EU economic development. Impacts of BRIDGE2GEO are: 1. intra-cluster (science–industry–regional policy) 2. intra-regional (coherent research policies, development of “USPs” in both research and industry, complementing measures within regional structural funds) 3. transnational (structures & instruments for sustainable co-operation & improvement of market access) BRIDGE2GEO will promote synergies between regional and research policies of the two regions. Through intensive involvement of the regional development agencies RTD strategies will be integrated into the economic development strategies as a basis for more focused use of the Structural Funds for R&D activities. SMEs and research will benefit from jointly prepared relations into emerging markets. Collaboration with RTD initiatives in convergence countries will be developed.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Two European regions partnered up to lead research and market development in the growing geographic information sector. The initiative focused on five of the most promising business sectors and the involvement of small and medium sized enterprises.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Developments in satellite, information and communication technologies are opening up possibilities for new geographic information (GI) applications in a number of sectors.
Two regions which are leading developments in this field are North Rhine-Westfalia (Germany) and Salzburg (Austria). They built on previous cooperation efforts with the recently completed 'Bridging innovation-driven GIS research and development to create a GEO-society' (Bridge2geo) project.
The EU-funded initiative, which lasted from January 2008 to December 2009, looked at furthering research and business applications in five sectors: health, energy, trade, tourism and environment, and security.
The initiative brought together universities, research institutes, SMEs and authorities in both regions, many which are already leading standardisation initiatives in this field. Strategic networks established to promote the benefits of GI-technologies in each of the economic sectors and exploiting links with the European 'Global monitoring for environment and security' (GMES) initiative was a priority. The project partners also developed strategies, communication and business models using an innovative web 2.0 interface to harness social media.
Strategies were developed for research and business exploitation in each region. A number of events were organised to share knowledge and promote greater involvement from businesses in each region.
The project partners have created a web portal and registered the Bridge2geo label as a trademark, underlining the expertise of the two regions in the GI field.
With the project helping to strengthen cooperation in GI development between these two regions, they will continue to play a leading role in this emerging sector, with the potential for substantial economic and societal benefits.
