CB2East aims at strenghtening Central Baltic Areas economical competitiveness by creating commercially targeted open innovation platforms in between Latvia and Finland. Key areas are sustainable eco-efficiency and water expertise solution needs in North-West Russia and Central Asia. Both target market areas have already shown remarkable market potential for Finnish and Latvian SMEs but the lack of critical mass and needed capabilities have created an obstacle for successfull commercial entries to the markets. CB2East catalyses transnational innovation collaboration for clusters based on challenge-driven and smart specialization approaches. New element of the approach is the use of inclusive model of collaboration, co-creative innovation processes including open innovation test-beds and new communication tools. It creates unique combinations of (meta)clusters complementary competences with good potential to develop specialized solutions to the target market needs. These strategic platforms support transnational clusters intermediaries on their operational projects helping companies in their business development and fruitful commercialization of joint ideas internationally. Platforms help to create concept and capability development, improve resource management, knowledge sharing, new market exploration and help companies to plug in to global value chains. Expected outputs are transnational coaching programmes for cluster intermediaries and SMEs including tools for building and strenghtening the cooperation and increasing cultural understanding and business capabilities. For partners benchmarking trips to targeted areas, joint events, market intelligence tools and long-term strategic action plans are made. Final output is a continuous and commercially succesfull transnational state-of-art cooperation in between two countries and a model that can be spread to the neighbouring CB countries in the future.
