The future competitiveness of the EU
The Week of Innovative Regions in Europe (WIRE) is an important platform for policymakers, public authorities, knowledge centres and businesses to engage in discussions about research and innovation challenges and opportunities in European regions, with a particular focus on EU funding opportunities. As part of the Hungarian EU Council Presidency, the EU-funded HUPRES-WIRE project will host the 2024 edition of WIRE in Budapest. This year’s theme underscores a key priority of the presidency and aims to shape the future competitiveness of the EU. The event will provide a space to analyse current innovation trends. The programme will delve into EU initiatives, including the Smart Specialisation concept, the Interregional Innovation Investments Instrument and Partnerships for Regional Innovation.
Objective
The National Research Development and Innovation Office organizes The Week of Innovative Regions in Europe under the Hungarian EU Council Presidency on 13-15 November, 2024. The choice of the theme of this year's conference reflects on one of the priorities of the Hungarian presidency and a key factor of competitiveness for the European Union in the upcoming years. The discussions will contribute to the analysis of the state-of-the-art and identify challenges and best practices. The program will cover these topics through examining several initiatives, concepts and tools launched, elaborated and offered by the European Union, such as the Smart Specialization concept, Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument, the Partnerships for Regional Innovation pilot, Regional Innovation Valleys. In order to get a sufficiently detailed and complex picture speakers will address the effectiveness of these tools, present good practices, and highlight synergies of European and regional funding schemes.
