Innovation Hub
The CAP Network Innovation Hub is working to support the development and sharing of innovative ideas and solutions to ensure the economic, environmental and social sustainability of farming and of rural areas. It’s an initiative which aims to accelerate the uptake of knowledge, and involves:Â
Mapping the Ecosystem:
Understanding the funding programmes, stakeholders and projects generating knowledge and the multipliers who can help bridge the gap.
Knowledge Sharing:
Identifying and sorting knowledge with potential for transfer or that which is of interest to a wider audience.
Innovation Scoping:
Thematic deep dives to identify innovations to support key challenges and needs in specific sectors.
Knowledge Exchange:
Transfer of these innovations to specific target groups to maximise likelihood of uptake.
Enabling Supports:
Activities that move knowledge down pathways to impact by connecting relevant actors, facilitating co-creation and providing advice.
