The innovation ecosystem is an economic development model that promotes collaboration among stakeholders in the promotion of innovation, sustainability, and regional development.

It encompasses a connected network of institutions, businesses, universities, research centres, organizations, and other stakeholders working together to promote collaboration and the sharing of ideas, knowledge, resources, and expertise.

ART-ER is at the heart of this ecosystem, creating a pervasive culture of innovation by providing resources, infrastructure, and collaboration to all involved actors.

It carries out joint projects at both national and international levels that focus on research, innovation, and skills as drivers of economic and sustainable development in the region and supports new forms of collaboration based on Open Innovation.
