European projects

UnicornQuest aims to build entrepreneurial ecosystems by promoting, attracting, and retaining to-be-unicorns thriving under EU principles and values, such as respect of human rights, freedom, democracy, and equality. This project arises from the need to reduce the exodus of promising start-ups and unicorns from Europe, especially the regions outside the capitals, which results in losses in terms of job creation, intellectual property and more. As such, the project is focused on learning and experience sharing activities, regional assessments and peer analysis and review of real cases to delineate strategies to improve regional policies which influence SME competitiveness and the retention and attraction of entrepreneurial talent.

EuraTechnologies is part of a consortium of 9 partners whose mission is to implement the EIC Tech to Market (T2M) Entrepreneurship program of the European Innovation and SME Council Executive Agency (EISMEA).

The EIC T2M Entrepreneurship program offers training and support services to innovative deeptech researchers funded under the EIC Pathfinder and EIC Transition programs. The aim is to help them move from a research project to a solid entrepreneurial project.

The FEDER European funds REACT-EU (Financing within the framework of the European Union's response to the COVID-19 pandemic) are supporting 3 actions:

• The deployment of EdTech accelerator to create tomorrow's tech champions in the field of education and training.
• Digital transformation of the region's VSEs, SMEs and ETIs through a program of workshop, diagnosis, analysis, ...
• The Campus Cyber Hauts-de-France Lille Métropole, as the first campus to receive the territorial label of the Campus Cyber National, aims to arm the region against cyber risk..

The European project "Open Badges for IT" aims to implement an innovative Franco-Walloon cross-border system to recognize and promote digital skills through Open Badges. These digital badges, already adopted by companies such as IBM, certify skills acquired formally or informally and are easily shareable. They provide clear and verifiable evidence of know-how, soft skills, and experience, whether gained through training, professional experience, or personal activities.
