The Catching Up Regions Initiative – an action led by the European Commission with support from the World Bank and national experts - is supporting the least developed regions in Poland, Romania, Croatia and Slovakia. A key aim of the initiative is to examine the factors that hold back growth and investments in those regions despite having benefited heavily from Cohesion Policy funds together with developing tailor-made regional solutions. A unique set of panellists, including representatives of the European Commission in charge of the EU funds, experts from the World Bank and key actors from the regions will debate and interact with the audience on 9th October, from 16:30 to 19:00, in the SQUARE convention centre.

If you want to learn how YOUR region can catch-up and benefit from this tailor-made initiative, do not hesitate to join us at the discussion.

Register by 27 September on the event webpage.
