Innofest offers eight festivals in Northern Netherlands as living labs for innovation. A festival is a temporary mini-company. As in real life, there are challenges in areas such as energy and waste. Festival visitors also behave in a way similar to in the real world: they move, eat and sleep. The difference with the real world is that there is a fence around the festival site. This makes festivals a perfect testing environment to work together on prototypes and experimental techniques. And if an idea works at a festival, it can also work in the real world. This makes festivals an attractive place for entrepreneurs, SMEs, start-ups, knowledge institutions and creatives to try out their innovations before they are brought to market. The participating festivals open their festival site as a living laboratory. Start-ups, companies, entrepreneurs and students come together at the festivals to test (socially responsible) prototypes and to devise solutions for the challenges that festivals and entrepreneurs from the region are facing.The consortium that realises the ERDF project Innofest consists of a good representation of North Dutch SME platforms, startups hubs and all knowledge institutions of the North. The Innofest Foundation represents the festivals and takes the lead in coordinating connections between the different Innofest stakeholders. The knowledge institutions within the consortium (Rijk Universiteit Groningen; Noorderpoort college; Stenden University of Applied Sciences; NHL Hogeschool and the Hanseatic University of Applied Sciences) work on challenges within Innofest, related to the RIS and NIA. Startup hubs as BeStart (and with a letter of intent Launch Cafe; Entrepreneur Factory and Founded in Groningen) scouting on the basis of the challenges leading innovations and together with Innofest guide the route to the festivals. The SME platforms (Water Alliance, NOM and HANNN, and with a declaration of intent SMEs North and Circular Fryslan) identify and connect SMEs to these projects and ensure that products or services are further helped after the festival season. After 2019, North Dutch festivals must have a strong position as innovation catalysts. In 2019, Innofest ensured that at least 30 innovative projects were launched from knowledge institutions (by students, student entrepreneurs or researchers) and at least 45 innovators (innovative SMEs and start-ups) were further helped by developing, testing or launching within a festival context. This new activity in the North has been used to inspire and grow SMEs (established SMEs, according to the innovation pyramid) which is by nature less innovative. Innofest engages at least 45 of these established SMEs and encourages and supports them to innovate from their existing products or services.

Innofest biedt acht festivals in Noord Nederland aan als living labs voor innovatie. Een festival is namelijk een tijdelijke minimaatschappij. Net als in het echt zijn daar uitdagingen op gebied van onder andere energie en afval. Ook festivalbezoekers gedragen zich in zekere zin gelijk als in de echte wereld: ze bewegen, eten en slapen. Het verschil met de echte wereld is dat er een hek om het festivalterrein staat. Dat maakt festivals een perfecte testomgeving om samen te werken aan prototypes en experimentele technieken. En als een idee op een festival werkt, dan kan het ook in de echte wereld werken. Dit maakt festivals een aantrekkelijke plek voor ondernemers, MKB, start-ups, kennisinstellingen en creatieven om hun innovaties uit te proberen, voordat ze op de markt gebracht worden. De deelnemende festivals stellen hun festivalterrein open als een levend laboratorium. Start-ups, bedrijven, ondernemers en studenten komen samen op de festivals om hier (maatschappelijk verantwoorde) prototypes te testen en oplossingen te bedenken voor de uitdagingen waar festivals en ondernemers uit de regio zelf mee te maken hebben.Het consortium dat het EFRO project Innofest realiseert bestaat uit een goede vertegenwoordiging van Noord Nederlandse MKB platformen, startups hubs en alle kennisinstellingen van het Noorden. Stichting Innofest vertegenwoordigd de festivals en neemt de lead in het coördineren van verbindingen tussen de verschillende Innofest-stakeholders. De kennisinstellingen binnen het consortium (Rijkuniversiteit Groningen; Noorderpoort college; Stenden Hogeschool; NHL Hogeschool en de Hanzehogeschool) gaan aan de slag met uitdagingen binnen Innofest, gerelateerd aan de RIS en NIA. Startup hubs als BeStart (en met intentieverklaring Launch Cafe; Ondernemersfabriek en Founded in Groningen) scouten op basis van de uitdagingen vooraanstaande innovaties en begeleiden samen met Innofest de route naar de festivals. De MKB platformen (Water Alliance, NOM en HANNN, en met intentieverklaring MKB Noord en Circulair Fryslan) signaleren en verbinden MKB'ers aan deze projecten en zorgen dat producten of diensten na het festivalseizoen verder geholpen worden. Na 2019 moet Noord-Nederlandse festivals een stevige positie hebben als innovatie-katalysatoren. In 2019 heeft Innofest ervoor gezorgd dat er minimaal 30 innovatieve projecten zijn gestart vanuit kennisinstellingen (door studenten, student-ondernemers of onderzoekers) en minimaal 45 innovators (innovatief MKB en startups) verder zijn geholpen door te ontwikkelen, testen of lanceren binnen een festivalcontext. Deze nieuwe bedrijvigheid in het Noorden is ingezet om MKB (gevestigd MKB, Volgens in de innovatiepiramide) dat van nature minder innovatief is, te inspireren en te laten groeien. Innofest betrekt minimaal 45 van deze gevestigde MKB’ers en stimuleert en ondersteunt hen om vanuit hun bestaande producten of diensten te innoveren. De activiteiten vinden allen plaats in een jaarlijkse cyclus, met als climax de acht rijke momenten die de festivals in het zomerseizoen bieden. Hiermee creëert Innofest de innovatiescene, of living lab, waarmee Noord-Nederland de terugkerende tijdelijke innovatiescene van Europa kan worden, met een blijvende impact op het innovatie-ecosysteem in Noord-Nederland.
