Get smarter together!
Great interest in our conference “Get smarter together in the Baltic Sea Region – taking innovation and smart specialisation across borders” made our event in Malmö very successful! Over 200 participants from different countries contributed in discussions and workshops during the two days.
Last week, on the 6-7 of November, we met to present achievements of our interregional and transnational cooperation of the last years and find synergies with other regions in the Baltic Sea Region and match with interesting partner regions. Thanks to many interesting speakers, we had a busy agenda with presentations rich in variety.
The event was organised by VINNOVA, Region Skåne, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth – Tillväxtverket and the S3 Platform.
