On July 2, 2025, the Kick-off Meeting of the InnoConnect project took place with success at Ioannina, organized by the Economic Chamber of Greece.
Co-funded by the Interreg VI-A Greece–Italy 2021–2027 Programme, the project aims to foster cross-border innovation and collaboration between SMEs by developing digital tools, using Artificial Intelligence, and facilitating business and investment partnerships.
Partners from Greece and Italy presented the project’s objectives, deliverables, and implementation strategy for the first phase.
The expected results will be measurable and with a long term impact and they be evaluated by the usage of the Expo Platform and e-Cluster, the number of partnerships formed and investments secured, the compliance with sustainability practices and the ensuring long-term impact on regional economic transformation and alignment with EU priorities.
The event confirmed the shared commitment to supporting innovation and entrepreneurship across borders.
