The aim of this project is to offer innovation agencies a new SME innovation support scheme based on the principle of finding solutions to SME innovation challenges. During this project it is planned to organize a design and consumer mindset-based innovation hackathon in 7 countries (Lithuania, Italy, Spain, Germany, Estonia, Denmark and Finland) where groups of 4-5 future design and programming professionals or novice specialists will have to solve given challenges over a fixed period of time posed by 8 companies related to the user interfaces of their products or services. The main idea of the hackathon itself is that it involves not only problem solvers or the companies that need a solution but also that proposed solution is tested by the potential users themselves.

Project is funded by the Horizon 2020 INNOSUP 6.
