Innovation, collaboration and forward-thinking solutions took center stage on March 16, 2026, as InnoConnect partners met in Lecce for a project meeting hosted by the Chamber of Commerce of Lecce. The event brought together all partners to review progress, exchange insights and define the next steps in supporting SMEs on their innovation journey.
At the heart of the discussion was the project’s mission to empower small and medium-sized enterprises through cutting-edge digital tools and new business opportunities. Among the most anticipated results is the development of an AI-based matchmaking platform, designed to connect SMEs with investors and producers, unlocking valuable partnerships and accelerating growth. In parallel, a dedicated e-Cluster will foster knowledge sharing, skills exchange and stronger collaboration among businesses and innovation stakeholders.
Partners also discussed upcoming workshops, webinars and support tools that will guide SMEs in navigating innovation processes. The meeting reaffirmed a shared commitment to delivering practical solutions that drive sustainable growth and create new opportunities for SMEs.
