Interreg NPA AMPLE

Breakthroughs happen when what is suddenly possible meets what is urgently needed.

We believe that by enabling innovators, we can tackle common challenges in the NPA: remoteness, youth depopulation, and the pressures of achieving carbon neutrality and digitalisation.

Our goal is to improve the success of early-stage micro-enterprises by empowering them to create functional prototypes using advanced makerspace technologies that are now within reach. We will listen to the needs of innovators. We will guide them to scalable makerspace technologies.

We will upskill NPA communities to overcome design and technical challenges. We will support selected innovators through the development process to realise three pilot projects, each contributing to greater social inclusion.

Across borders, we will connect centres of excellence in materials, printed electronics, robotics, Fablabs, and photonics with innovators working from their homes or hot desk to enhance wellbeing in the NPA.

AMPLE is co-funded by the European Union’s Northern Periphery and Artic region (Interreg NPA).​

The project is jointly implemented by  partners from the University of Iceland (Iceland),FutureCast (Ireland), Oulu University of Applied Sciences (Finland) and Centria University of Applied Sciences (Finland).​
