Distance LAB

The project Distance LAB equips public and private organisations with intercultural skills and business support to help them work remotely in an efficient way.
Project summary

DistanceLAB creates tools to improve the stakeholders’ resilience and adaptability by improving their skills in remote activities, especially distance soft skills (DIS). The project is topical as the COVID-19 pandemic and energy crisis have pushed organizations for a change. Now it is the time to take advantage of these changes and create new ways of success. The developed tools and methods are divided into 3 categories; communication and innovation, sustainability and remote business strategy. In this application “service” is used as an umbrella term for all these outcomes. These services develop the businesses’ existing activities and evolve them into hybrid and remote. The services and expertise is brought together in a hub. The hub offers the collective expertise of business development experts and the network of Baltic area. The hub is a co-operative effort of all partners and is open for international expansion. Each partner country will develop its own living lab of innovation. The living labs collaborate together in the hub and with other, existing clusters and networks. The hub shares knowledge and experiences on activities following EU and local level strategies by developing and adjusting the business to support the strategic objectives. Transnational collaboration and green transition are the backbone of the project’s activities and later, services provided in the hub. Public actors advocate local strategic changes towards a resilient and remote-adapted society.
