As part of the Evolute partnerships, from 29th to 31st March 2023, the ClusterXchange in Bologna (Italy) has taken place. The exchange was attended by clusters and companies from 3 different countries: Germany, Serbia and Czech Republic. Thanks to the collaboration that ๐๐น๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ง (Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy) has with ๐๐น๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ ๐๐๐ (Emilia Romagna, Italy) participants were able to get to know some of the excellences of both regions.
