Discover our Key Stakeholders database
- 13 Sept 2023
The purpose of this document is to present the key stakeholders database for outreach of Food-scalEUp project results. The stakeholder database consists of relevant organisations covering different acceleration stakeholder types in Europe, and beyond. A detailed methodology is presented to explain how these organisations were identified. All partners of the consortium reviewed and contributed to the building of this stakeholder database, which complements the mapping results of WP1 and will be included in the virtual platform (WP2). This database constitutes a working excel document and all consortium partners will continue to develop this throughout the course of the project.
This document presents deliverable D4.2 ‘Key stakeholders database’ of the Food-scalEUp project. It includes a detailed methodology for identifying relevant stakeholders to disseminate the results of the Food-scalEUp project as effectively and widely as possible in order to create longterm engagement to fulfil the vision and mission of the project.
The Food-scalEUp project enhances the capabilities of European regional agri-food digital innovation ecosystems, with a particular focus on regions categorized as "emerging" and "moderate" innovators. The goal is to foster greater connectivity, effectiveness, impact, resilience, and international recognition within these ecosystems.
Specifically, the mission of the Food-scalEUp project entails several key objectives:
- Enhancing the quality of business acceleration services within agri-food digital innovation ecosystems situated in emerging and moderate innovator regions.
- Facilitating the expansion of connections, knowledge-sharing, exchange, and collaboration at the regional, European, and global levels. This involves key stakeholders representing diverse actors within the agri-food digital innovation ecosystems participating in the project.
- Achieving balance between scaling up start-ups and SMEs and the creation of locally rooted high-value job opportunities in the European regions engaged in the project. This balance is attained by bolstering the capacity of agri-food digital innovation and acceleration ecosystems in these regions.
In summary, the Food-scalEUp project aims to fortify European agri-food digital innovation ecosystems. The project's mission revolves around advancing business acceleration services, promoting collaboration, and ensuring sustainable growth and job creation within these ecosystems. This includes both (internally) improving the services of accelerators themselves as well as the (external) promotion of sector-specific programmes at a European scale.
