Regional Innovation Valleys – What’s in it for my region?

The Regional Innovation Valleys (RIVs) initiative is one of the key achievements of the New European Innovation Agenda, combining innovation policies for stronger cohesion. The Commission aims to connect EU territories and this session will present RIVs' progress and seek feedback from regions implementing the initiative. It highlights benefits like stronger ecosystems and cross-border collaborations. The initiative encourages joining through cascade funding or learning from successful cases.
