4. Pilots
Crossover pilots have been carried out and some are still on-going. Some finalised and we will reach the goal of nine.
Voluntary organisations – Illustrations
Nature tourism – information technology
Material waste from manufacturing – creative product development
Digital printing – creative ways of using new technology
Pike products development – fishing, producing, marketing
New soft drinks for export – story telling and illustrations
Attracting industries though cooperative of young entrepreneurs

5. Good practise Working directly with businesses
Working with regional focus areas/regional resources.
Working with practical, focused workshops that attracts businesses from a wide range of industries
Working with multitask teams
Collaborating with other projects and organisations and building the Creative agencies on this
Having the B2B perspective but alsor exploring possible new areas together with others. Exploring possibilities for using regional resources as raw material for new products and services
Practical, hands-on workshops with mixed competences and sectors (DPC, material waste, cooperative in Finland)
Collaboration – pooling resources both in finance, staff, venues, ideas, networks…. Examples withing: fish tasting in Sweden, other NPP, young coop members attending No Cry, DPC Objective 2 ERDF project
Important to make the most out of the resources we have in the region and not do parallell work

6. Sustainability
Tool Kit/matchmaking a joint, open source tool and in three languages which could easily be expanded to other languages. As easy as possible to administrate.
Creative Agency not new organisations
Creative Agency network organisation with one coordinating organisation.
