Understanding the central role of the municipalities in promoting innovation at the national level, as well as the special involvement in the innovation policies of the cities that are part of the Innpulse Network, the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities considers it necessary to strengthen the capacities of these municipalities and ensure that they have at least one person dedicated exclusively to the implementation of innovation policies. To this end, aid is granted for the cofinancing of the incorporation or maintenance, where appropriate, of local innovation agents by the municipalities of the member cities of the Innpulse Network.
Local innovation agents are professional profiles dedicated exclusively to the implementation of innovative municipal policies, such as sustainability plans, energy saving, circular economy or technological and social entrepreneurship.
