The conference brought together over 40 representatives from business, academia, public institutions, and civil society from Bulgaria, Turkey, and Romania, including the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Çorlu, Edirne, Tekirdağ, Kırklareli, and Lüleburgaz. The event provided a platform for exchanging ideas, discussing opportunities for joint innovations, and building partnerships.
The first day focused on the development of innovation ecosystems, cross-sectoral and cross-regional cooperation, and the current challenges facing the innovation sector.
The second day was dedicated to practical work and idea exchange in thematic working groups, focusing on governance and institutional partnerships, the sustainability of cooperation, and capacity building. Special attention was given to the upcoming digital collaboration platform, which will support stakeholders in identifying partners, accessing funding, and receiving mentoring support for the development of innovative projects.
