On 31 December 2011, the project Quadruple Helix Central Baltic was completed. BalticFem have participated in this project as one of eight partners in three countries. The project has resulted in a mobile application, a local tourism venture on the bike paths in Roslagen and dozens of very interesting reports on women's entrepreneurship, clusters and equality in the Baltic region.

Quadruple Helix Central Baltic
|
Authorities, entrepreneurs, universities and civil society (NGOs) - together to strenghten the innovation system of the Central Baltic region.
The Central Baltic region is considered as one of the most advanced in Europe. Despite this it has weaknesses when it comes to the involvement of women in innovation systems. We want to help adress this with the project Quadruple.
Quadruple adresses the need:
- to integrate gender mainstreaming in regional policies for promotion of entrepreneurship, innovation and clusters;
- to develop strategies for promotion of clusters in sectors where many women are active as entrepreneurs; and
- to promote cross-fertilization between sectors where many women are active (tourism) and research and techbased (ICT) clusters where mainly men are active.
Quadruple will specifically target the tourism sector and create arenas between this sector and ICT research.
Aim
- Stimulated cross-sector clusters between tourism and ICT.
- Developed policy, plans and strategies together with practical tools so that more women entrepreneurs will be able to participate in cluster processes.
- Strengthened competiveness for SMEs in the tourism sector in the Central Baltic region.
Method
- Policy development (regional stakeholders and policy relevant research)
- Actual cases
- Connecting researchers with groups of entrepreneurs - the cases will then give direct input to the policy development.
Expected results
- More competitive SMEs within the tourism sector
- A strong business platform, i.e. working cross-sector clusters/networks (ICT-Tourism) in the Central Baltic region.
- Developed and practiced methods for gender mainstreaming in clusters and innovation systems in the Central Baltic region and exchange of knowledge at policy level.

How do we focus on entrepreneurship, innovation and clusters to a more equal footing? And what can be gained at this in terms of development, increased profitability and innovation? These issues as well as an interesting investment in new mobile technologies for tourism fits within the EU project Quadruple Helix Central Baltic.
Quadrupleprojektet attacking other words, inequality is at the corporate and cluster from two angles: One is about to affect business promotion structures such as cluster initiative, entrepreneurship programs and innovative efforts by developing and implementing methods, models and tools for gender mainstreaming. The second cluster of its own investments in a sector where many women are active, namely tourism. The project envisages the possibility for small businesses to be part of a pilot study with new innovations in the form of mobile solutions being tested and developed in terms of tourism industry needs.
Quadruple is an initiative of Norrtälje and BalticFem which together with partners such as the Royal Institute of Technology, the County Administrative Board of Stockholm, Euro House, Läänemaa Tourism Association and the Saaremaa University Centre (Estonia) and Abo Akademi University (Finland) runs the project.
