Innovation and main outputs of CBIs Sample Clauses

Innovation and main outputs of CBIs. With regard to the initiatives’ inclination and effort towards innovativeness, the graphic below (Figure 8) illustrates the answers to the following question: “In your activities, have you created any new goods/services/markets (or market segments)?” Figure 8: CBIs Innovativeness (% values) Sample size: 51 CBIs. Date of data retrieval: 15.06.2015 An high percentage of the initiatives (73%, corresponding to 37 initiatives) illustrated how they introduced a service, product or process which was new within the local context and which provided to the local community real and needed opportunities for improving the quality and quantity of accessible goods or services.

Moreover, some initiatives managed to provide local communities with free and shared working spaces, which were previously missing, and increased the local employment rate. The initiatives that replied “no” to the creation of goods/services/markets recognised that they do provide goods and services, which had been introduced in the local context before. They still consider themselves innovative in terms of providing an alternative with respect to the mainstream market offer. Only 1 of 51 initiatives that answered to questions related to their innovativeness registered a patent (in Italy, for a textile fabric made of plastic). In contrast to this perspective, 4 initiatives underlined that they consider patents unsuitable for a community-based approach and they refrain from this practice, while 2 initiatives answered that they might consider the possibility in...
