•    Development and maintenance of the TAKE IT UP repository, an online database of “best in class” services and tools for innovation support developed in Europe, which have undergone a process of assessment, improvement and reshaping for the purpose of their better/wider use by innovation intermediaries.

•    Creation and animation of a community of innovation intermediaries, where users are directly engaged in discussing, sharing, testing the novel tools/services while suggesting possible improvements. The TAKE IT UP Validation Platform, a high profile panel of innovation support experts in charge of appraising new methods/approaches for improving the take up process, will be the main mechanism for gathering qualified feedback from the community.

•    Promotion services to disseminate the novel tools and services developed to final users, through information campaigns, road-shows and showcasing opportunities, matchmaking events.
