Programme profile
Nova Core Strategic Ecosystems & Partnerships Programme
Why it matters
No single actor has all the answers.
Innovation can remain siloed or depend on those with the greatest resources. Many solutions begin when the right people meet around the right challenge.
What the programme does
Connecting capabilities before a project exists.
The programme brings together companies, universities, public bodies, technology centres and social organisations to explore shared interests and open paths to research, pilots and cooperation.
What your participation can make possible
You can contribute without owning the whole solution.
Each actor brings one part: industrial knowledge, research, local access, technology, sector networks or financial insight. Nova Core connects these pieces independently and in the public interest.
- Network access
- Facilities and labs
- Sector expertise
- Technology
- Missions and events
- Consortia
- Resources and funding
The shared value that remains
Relationships that create knowledge and new possibilities.
The lasting value is stronger partnerships, knowledge transfer and trust across sectors. Learning can benefit other projects even when a connection does not lead to an immediate result.
Relevant frameworks

- SDG 16
- SDG 17

How we do it
From ecosystem intelligence to collaboration.
Nova Core maps actors and gaps, visits industrial and research settings, convenes dialogue, structures roles and consortia, and connects opportunities with resources and programmes.
Map → scout → engage → structure partnerships → mobilise opportunities
A transversal capability with follow-through.
Nova Core provides a multiannual programme framework, objective-led missions with evidence, a cross-programme perspective and relationship follow-up. Support does not control technical conclusions or confer automatic preference.
Partnerships that can activate it

- International Missions Partner
- Knowledge & Innovation Partner

Independence: Funding does not imply technical endorsement or preferential treatment; recognition depends on the contribution and brand authorisation.
