The event, hosted by Technology park Ljubljana and the Slovenian Business & Research Association (SBRA), taking place on 20 April between 10:00 and 14:00, will explore the potential of macroregional smart specialisation-based cooperation in advancing sustainable development in EU macro-regions and Euroregions. Utilising the Interreg Adrion project BLUEAIR as a case study, the event aims to demonstrate the steps taken towards S3-based cooperation in the sustainable blue economy in the Adriatic and Ionian Region. 

It will highlight the importance of promoting transregional collaboration between various innovation stakeholders towards a more coordinated approach for developing relevant priority areas and cross-border innovation.

The event aims to inspire other EU macro-regions and Euroregions to embrace similar approaches in priority areas relevant to their respective regions. Speakers from the European Commission, BLUEAIR partner organisations and ministries will be featured, discussing the ways of promoting macroregional innovation strategies and transregional S3-based cooperation.
