The CReATE Toolkit helps cluster managers understand and develop key sectors in their regions. It provides a step-by-step guide to analyzing a region's strengths and opportunities, defining a joint research agenda, and developing partnerships between businesses, research institutions, and agencies. The toolkit has been successfully tested in four regions. It aims to improve collaboration, raise awareness of regional opportunities, and launch real projects. The toolkit guides users through collecting data, stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, and increasing a cluster's profile.

Revenue Recognition is based on the new IFRS-Standard:
IFRS 15 sets out the requirements for recognizing revenue
that apply to all contracts with customers (except for
contracts that are within the scope of the Standards on
leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments).
IFRS 15 is effective from 1 January 2017 but earlier
application is permitted.
We have developed an integrated solution - Lean-ERP, which leverages the virtues of both lean manufacturing and enterprise resource planning (ERP) so manufacturing enterprises can achieve sustainable bottom line improvements.

Level up - First SDGs accelerator in CEEEmanuele Musa
Babele.co & Nod Makerspace are launching the first SDGs accelerator in Central & Eastern Europe, aimed at supporting the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.
Here is the model:
- We invite different corporation choose 1 or more SDGs that they wish to support;
- We scout for different NGOs and social ventures promoting these SDGs;
- We let the corporate choose the venture that they want to adopt for the program;
Both venture and up to 10 employees from the sponsor company will attend the accelerator. The goal is three-fold:
- Support the social enterprise to scale its impact;
- Foster the entrepreneurial mindset of corporate employees;
- Use the program as a platform to develop a corporate-startup collaboration, focused on the SDG that both wish to support.
