Partner search under the Interreg Europe programme

 

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Tourism, in France, is looking for partners in order to submit a project proposal under the Interreg Europe programme, Priority axis: 1- strengthening research, technological development and innovation http://www.interregeurope.eu/apply/.  

 

The aim of the project is to promote innovation in virtual reality and augmented reality applied to the tourism sector. In order to assist the tourism sector in capitalising on the potential stemming from the arrival of mainstream virtual reality tools, considerations could be made for a public financing programme for innovation dedicated to the uses of this technology in the tourism sector. This programme could integrate the ERDF OPs of the partners of the project to stimulate innovation by targeting the most pertinent stakeholders in the territory (start-ups, etc.). Furthermore, creating favourable conditions for innovation is not limited to financing. Potential beneficiaries of this programme would need access to tourist data to work on these new digital uses. Conditions for providing public data could be a second component of this project.

 

Partners sought: Public sector and equivalent organisations with a significant experience in the implementation of financing programmes for stimulating innovation, and/or with significant knowledge of the uses of virtual and augmented reality and/or related technology, and/or public sector and equivalent organisations acting in the sector of tourism economic development.

 

Deadline for proposal submission: 30 June 2017
