Regional best practices for the definition of follow-up funding schemes
In this event we will tackle one of the most relevant challenges that affect the competitiveness of our regional companies: how can regions keep up to date with the necessities of their local companies in terms of funding and support programmes?
Continuous learning about the needs of your regional companies is critical to design and implement support instruments that are aligned with the trends and objectives of our region's SMEs, startups, and scaleups.
To explore possible solutions to this challenge, different European Regional Development Agencies, Digital Innovation Hubs and Research and Technology Organisations will present their regional best practices and how they have jointly implemented successful strategies to design support schemes in their territory.
The event will be organized in three main sessions, starting with the presentation of good practices on follow-up funding strategies, followed by an animated discussion in two different round tables and ending with a brokerage session where all participants are invited to network.
Presentation of best practices: get inspired
Regional Development Agencies and Digital Innovation Hubs will present different initiatives that have been successfully implemented in their territory to design support programmes for their regional companies. In this session, you will learn from other regions and explore possible solutions to implement in your territory.
Round tables: join the discussion
Participants are invited take an active role in this session by joining one round table and share their regional approach in any of the two following topics:
- Regional solutions for the implementation of follow-up funding schemes: discuss and share your experience about effective methods to involve your regional ecosystem to jointly define effective support programmes.
- Regional challenges for digitalisation of SMEs: exchange your views about the main barriers that hinder the integration of digital solution by your regional SMEs and identify potential best practices to implement in your territory.
