/Wider_project.PNG)
Objectives
WIDER aimed at improving and sharing knowledge management regarding innovation, market opportunities, and new products for SMEs throughout the supply chain of the eco-smart housing for independent living of the elderly sector in all seven focused MED regional industrial areas.
In addition, WIDER intended to contribute to enhancing the lifestyle of elderly customers by helping them use energy in a cleaner and more efficient way, ultimately improving energy savings and promoting the autonomy of their residences.
Activities
WIDER resulted in the formal establishment of a transnational permanent thematic network on ambient intelligence technology and eco-sustainability for the independent living of the elderly. This network used an energy efficiency and end-user-centered approach to facilitate collaboration between knowledge providers and small businesses. It aimed to create a cultural shift in the small business community's approach to innovation and enhance smart ecosystems for user-driven innovation.
Among other activities, WIDER conducted pilot programs to test a strategic mix of best practices developed at the EU level to enhance energy efficiency and user-driven innovation in the seven territories of the project: Algarve (Portugal), Cataluña (Spain), Rhone-Alps (France), Marche (Italy), Litija (Slovenia), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and Central Macedonia (Greece). Additionally, two WIDER Innovation Fairs were held in Barcelona (Spain) and Ancona (Italy).
