Smart specialisation strategies can leverage numerous new growth opportunities for regions, when aligning their business-driven smart specialisation investments in new European value chains. This event will accelerate the set-up of effective partnerships for co-investing across regions that commit to their smart specialisation priorities. It will show the way forward by using the synergies between the different public and private funding mechanisms to support such investment dynamics.

During the two days, the participants will have the opportunity to visit the Smart Regions Exhibition where regions will showcase their smart specialisation areas.
