Our Projects

Since 2008, we have elaborated over 20 development project proposals and applied with them to different programmes and open calls for proposals, thus obtaining funding either from EU funds or other national and international sources.

A great number of these projects have been conducted in collaboration with international partners. Some of our projects are still ongoing, while several have already been successfully finalized.

The project “Implementing the CQF in Professional Computer Studies” has brought together all the potential executives of professional studies that result in the qualifications of a “bachelor of computer engineering” and an “expert specialist of computer engineering”. Due to the heterogeneity of the existing qualifications, and in keeping with the basic regulations of the CQF on the harmonization of the titles and the content of the qualification, we would like to develop the field of professional computer studies together with partners (8 higher education institutions and 4 institutions as a wider working group (3 + HUP) development of 9 qualification standards (3 in bachelor and 6 in the master level), and upgrading / developing 10 study programmes in line with the qualification framework. This project has a powerful multiplicative positive effect. Employment in ICT leads to growth and development, as well as development of new projects which generates new hiring in different fields of investments.

Enhancement of DigiBoost Entrepreneurship Incubator services with the aim of increasing and successfully funding SMEs and the promotion of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial skills

European Fund for Regional Development

KK.03.1.2.05.0044 / 2018 – 2020.

Cilj projekta je razvoj i povećanje usluga stručne i savjetodavne podrške koje nudi inkubator, te povećavanje usluga informiranja namijenjenih MSP–ovima. Analizom pruženih stručnih i savjetodavnih usluga namijenjenih inovativnim MSP-ovima u Gradu Zagrebu, uvidjeli smo nedostatak kod tematskih cjelina: financiranje projekata korištenjem platformi za grupno financiranje za novoosnovane MSP-ove, unaprjeđenje proizvoda i usluga za novoosnovane MSP-ove, povezivanje korporacija i novoosnovanih MSP-ova, lean menadžment u novoosnovanim MSP-ovima. Ako usporedimo uspješnost ostalih europskih zemalja, u Hrvatskoj postotak MSP-ova koji uvode inovacije je 8 puta niži od prosjeka Europske unije. Inovacije u MSP-ovima rezultiraju stvaranje novih proizvoda i usluga, što povlači odmah i rast i održivost MSP-a. Kako bi se taj broj povećao, nužno je osigurati što veći broj različitih usluga koje će jačati razvoj subjekata MSP-ova i poticati cjeloživotno učenje zaposlenih u firmi. Projekt osigurava edukaciju MSP-ova koji danas rade softverska i inženjerska rješenja po narudžbi kupaca. Oni često imaju ekspertizu i želju krenuti sa vlastitim proizvodom ali ne znaju odakle početi. Inkubator ima mentorsku mrežu koja broji gotovo 90 stručnjaka koji imaju navedenu ekspertizu. Kroz takvu edukaciju pozitivno utječemo na poboljšanje poduzetničkih vještina koje su ključne za rast i razvoj poslovanja i stopa preživljavanja MSP-ova.
