Description

The European Commission is organising a thematic workshop for regional and national authorities, regional clusters and representatives of various industrial sector who are actively interested in co-creating a smart specialisation Industrial Modernisation Platform to share best practices, jointly promote investments and innovation, and develop positions in new global value chains across key European industries.

The event will take place in Brussels on 11 May 2016.

The event will offer regions the possibility to define sub-themes of common strategic interest – such as for instance the application of KETs, ICT in various industrial areas.

The sub-themes defined at the workshop will feed into the launch of a Smart Specialisation Platform for Industrial Modernisation and Investment on 1-2 June 2016. In practical terms, these sub-themes are expected to become a priority for the work of the new Platform and these regional partnerships are to be supported by the European Commission.

If you wish to join the workshop, please sign up here, by answering to a short set of questions regarding your region's experience and ambition in the context of industrial investment and innovation. Please note that seats are limited and the Commission would therefore like to encourage the participation of people actively involved in the development and implementation of innovation strategies with an industrial focus.

This workshop is organised by the S3 Platform, on the initiative of DG GROW and DG REGIO.
