International conference "Setting a new direction towards smart and collaborative innovation in the Baltic Sea Region"

 

By working together with private, public and non-governmental stakeholders at different levels, it is possible to create ever new solutions for innovation and industrial development. When developing local strategies, development plans and policies, it is also important to take into account macro-regional priorities and sectoral trends, thus accelerating local development. The knowledge gained during the international conference "Setting a new direction towards smart and collaborative innovation in the Baltic Sea Region" will be of particular value to national and regional authorities, research institutions, business support organizations and associations. It aims to provide a context for co-operation in Europe and Baltic Sea level and to share practical examples of innovative solutions developed within the GoSmart BSR project to foster the development of local business innovation.
