#GIL4W - Greek Innovation Lab for Women: Partnership for Norwegian Transfer of Knowledge to boost the female expertise in Research and Innovation and entrepreneurship in Greece

The aim of the project is to set up the mechanism based on which #GIL4W  will become a flagship project for both countries acting as a knowledge transfer mechanism from Norway to Greece where members can share tools, lessons learned, business bases and rapidly push forward innovative practices. The key role or the Norwegian partners besides the identification of synergies with the relevant Greek actors will be to transfer through co-creation and frugal innovation concept the valuable Norwegian know-how and help the Post-COVID recovery and the negative impacts of the financial crisis on the Greek economy and the  female workforce in the Greek labour Market.
 

The project  will create a space where members can share tools, lessons learned, business bases and rapidly push forward innovative practices. They are encouraged to set their own specific targets to: 
 

1.  Make a high-level corporate commitment to adopt a gender-responsive approach to innovation 

2.  Design innovations that include women as service and innovation providers as well as end users 

3.  Adapt implementation approaches to ensure innovations meet the needs of women 

4.  Evaluate gender-responsive impacts by using a data-driven approach 

5.  Scaling of the innovations that provide sustainable solutions to meet the needs of women and girls and create a Greek Community of Excellence for women innovators and STEM-entrepreneurs bringing them to the forefront of the global innovation ecosystem.
