The Innova Project is at the same time a forum and a research program on business innovation.

Innovation is a leitmotiv in the professional world.  Everyone talks of innovation.  However, innovation is difficult to define and especially to measure.  The aim of the Innova Project is to create new, more precise indicators of innovation for enterprises and researchers.

Founded by researchers from the HEC-Management School of Liège University, the Innova Project brings together figures from the business world (persons in charge of R&D, of marketing and communication, managing directors, etc.), public institutions and university researchers in order to exchange reflections and experiences with regard to innovation. 

The first result of these exchanges has been the drafting of a questionnaire to submit to enterprises in order to collect precise quantitative and qualitative data.  

The Innova Project has received financial support from the Banque Nationale de Belgique, the Herstal Group, the Prayon Company, the Economic Redeployment Group of the Region of Liège and the MeusInvest Group.
