About the project

Project aims

The INVESTEch project aims to:

  • Facilitate skills development and the use of innovative technology.
  • Promote green transition and social inclusion.
  • Provide opportunities for international collaboration and the exchange of best practices.
  • creation of CoVEs in five European regions by incorporating the Quintuple Innovation Helix (Q2IH) Framework

Project activities

The rapid progress and ever-changing environment in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector is creating strong pressure for the development of new skills and innovation. However, current vocational education and training programmes often fail to keep pace with these changes and do not always provide students with the skills and opportunities needed to succeed in this sector.

The INVESTech project (Innovation Vocational Excellence and Sustainability in Tech, 101143958; ERASMUS-EDU-2023-PEX-COVE) aims to support the innovation potential of VET in partner countries by applying the Quintuple Helix framework – strengthening partnerships between academia, industry, public sector, civil society and natural environment.

The project will establish a transnational platform for the cooperation of Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) in the field of ICT in five European regions: Košice in Slovakia, Attica in Greece, Sofia in Bulgaria, Nicosia in Cyprus and Klaipeda in Lithuania.
