Quotation «Clusters’ training sessions»

Cosmetic Valley opens a quotation to subcontract consultancy in the framework of the Global Cosmetics Cluster – Europe project. We are looking for an company capable to provide trainingsessions to clusters’ staff on the following topic:
How to organize full digital events and/or hybrid events with high impact on companies’ business and innovation development?

The training sessions aim at improving the capacities of the staff of GCC.Eu clusters and their strategic partners. In the actual context, we, as clusters, have to adapt our way to support SMEs in their business and innovation development worldwide. For more than a year, it is impossible to organize any travel or mission abroad. Despite the situation, we went on and kept organizing activities to help our companies: Webinars have flourished to bring them content , virtual events have been organized to maintain connections between people… Digital can make attendance accessible to a wider audience but is the impact as strong as physical? Clusters staff are not expert in those news ways of virtual events mixing contents, business matchmaking, etc… By improving their capacities, the partnering clusters will increase their services towards the SMEs and the impact will be multiplied.
