The project achieved this goal by developing a creative and supportive environment at institutional level through the establishment of CreaLABs and a network of them in Georgia and Kyrgyz Republic. These networks are serving as platforms to encourage and foster students’ entrepreneurial ideas and at the same time support the bridge that links enterprises and universities for the benefit of innovation and socio-economic development in beneficiary countries.
During the project the following results were achieved:

- Creative centres (CreaLABs) were set up and equipped in each GE and KG HEI to support students and researchers ideas that can potentially end up in the market and commercial products through entrepreneurship and open innovation.
- Improved skills and competences of staff working in CreatLABs to support entrepreneurship and bring closer enterprises and universities.
- Designed an intensive training programme on teaching entrepreneurship for professors and students seeking to integrate effective and new methods of teaching entrepreneurship in the respective courses through case-studies and problem-solving methods.
- Implemented pilot activities which were organised by CreaLABs.
- Created a network of professors and practitioners to encourage entrepreneurship and cooperation enterprise-university in beneficiary countries.
