Online workshop to strengthen the resilience of SMEs through strategic foresight
The IDEALIST project, supported by Horizon Europe, has launched an innovative online workshop aimed at strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the energy-intensive industries, aerospace, mobility, transport and automotive sectors.
This workshop, which will take place over three dates in May, will provide one-day training in horizon scanning methodologies designed to help SMEs better respond to global disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts and other disruptive influences.
Participants of the workshop will be enabled to proactively identify and assess future trends and challenges in order to increase their competitiveness and secure their future viability. The workshop will include activities such as mapping disruptions and drivers, horizon scanning and analysing trends to enable companies to turn uncertainty into strategic advantage.
The workshop is part of a wider initiative that includes regular and structured horizon scanning activities from June to November 2024 and requires active participation and engagement from SMEs. The aim is to develop an in-depth understanding of the operational environment and external drivers that influence day-to-day activities and risk management practices within industrial clusters.
Interested SMEs and cluster organisations can register for the workshop via the official project website www.idealist-project.eu or contact the project partners directly for more information and to get involved. This is a unique opportunity to not only react to challenges, but to actively shape the future.
