The ASIS initiative project (INTERREG – Alpine Space program) aims to boost the role of local governments for the development of social innovation in order to answer to the social and economic challenges as a first step towards a shared strategy of economic development.

Main goals of the project are:

  • To improve cooperation between innovation key stakeholders, to provide better responses to societal challenges and new knowledge and skills for public authorities.
  • To provide public authorities, business support organisations and sector agencies with common criteria/concepts on Social Innovation between the regions of the Alpine Space in order to create a common vision and to start the first step towards the development of a shared strategy for economic development;
  • To support this change, the project will propose new tools and methodologies, new strategic policies and recommendations to public actors through a white book.
