Industrial SMEs

Discuss the opportunities for digital solutions for industrial SMEs with us during this workshop and online. Regions all over Europe are key drivers in the twin transitions of greening and digitalisation to shape the future strong European industrial value Chains.

Digital Strategy

We discuss the opportunities of the European Digital Strategy and the Industrial Strategy with the EC. We learn from regional examples connected in the Vanguard Initiative and Eurada.

Regional innovation models

The discussion will focus on innovation models developed in regions and between region in Vangaurd Initiative pilots, in order to support the transition into Digtial Industries.

SME’s European supply chains

We explore how these innovations could be replicated elsewhere. How can regional SMEs in industry efficiently support the development of new supply chains in Europe, and how can collaboration at European level accelerate the scaling of new technologies, products and services?
