BRIDGES project was invited to take part in the thematic workshop organized on 14th November in Sofia by Interreg Europe Policy Learning Platform.
The event covered the topic of fostering entrepreneurship and business creation and was the first of a four-part series. Peers and stakeholders met together to discuss what regions are doing or can do for entrepreneurial support.
The event was the opportunity for running Interreg Europe projects to highlight their best examples of boosting entrepreneurship.
