The Metropolitan Innovation System of the Camp de Tarragona (SIM)<\/strong> is an initiative promoted by the Chair University and Knowledge Region of URV and the Tarragona Provincial Council. Its purpose is to boost innovation and strengthen coordination between administrations, universities, research centers, and businesses, promoting collaboration and the generation of strategic projects with territorial impact.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Innovation System of the Camp de Tarragona aims to structure a more articulated, collaborative, and efficient innovation ecosystem, allowing the alignment of territorial capabilities with the needs of the productive and social fabric.<\/p>\n

It is a metropolitan innovation network, alive and cooperative, that acts as a continuous collective action for the common good. It connects knowledge, research, business, administration, and citizens to improve quality of life, reinforce competitiveness and sustainability of the territory, and consolidate Southern Catalonia as a development engine.<\/p>\n

Its main lines of action include strengthening coordination among innovation system agents, knowledge transfer towards applied projects, talent attraction and retention, and promotion of strategic initiatives in areas such as industry, logistics, sustainability, and digitalization.<\/p>\n
