The Euroregion Nouvelle-Aquitaine Euskadi Navarre, in collaboration with the partners of the POCTEFA COMPET’plus project, is organising a side event at the EU Regions and Cities Week which will focus on how smart specialisation strategies can play a decisive role in boosting competitiveness in cross-border regions.<\/p>\n

How could border regions boost business competitiveness and innovation? The INTERREG POCTEFA Compet\u2019plus project aims to improve Business Competitiveness & Innovation Platforms for the strengthening of activities in the cross-border area, the creation of reinforced value chains, and the cooperation between SMEs and driving companies in converging RIS3 areas (energy, mobility, agri-food and creative industries).<\/p>\n

The event aims to present and discuss the method and results, with a focus on how it can be used to advance cross-border cooperation. Through the session, we want to discuss what can be the role of border regions to become a smart, sustainable, and inclusive economy. It is also a space to discuss the role of digitalization and platform-based collaboration for opening new areas and types of interaction among regions and various stakeholders\u2019 groups. Finally, the session will approach how to materialize this cooperation by creating cross-border clusters and innovation platforms. As the Compet\u2019plus project, follows on from the POCTEFA Competitiv\u2019eko project, we will introduce the 3 cross-border clusters that exist (INNOVMEDICA, BIGDATIA and ADDITIVALLEY) and present examples of companies involved in the clusters and their experiences.<\/p>\n

The partners of this project organise this Side Event with the following programme:<\/p>\n
