Dear reader,
Welcome to the fifth edition of Newsletter series of the INNOGROW project that promotes the adoption of innovation by rural economy SMEs, through sharing practices and experiences between regions and actors relevant to rural economy SMEs competitiveness, and integrating lessons learnt into regional policies and action plans.
During the last period of implementation all activities contributing to the exchange of experience and the communication of project results are progressing significantly. Partners have advanced with the development of an innovative online benchmarking tool to support INNOGROW regions in assessing their performance on improving rural economy SMEs competitiveness. Two main exchange of experience activities took place in 5th semester, the third workshop organised by PP9 in Gyor, Hungary on new business models and the second study visit to transfer experiences on innovative production policies in Thessaly, Greece organised by the LP. All partners participated in both activities. Moreover, partners of the INNOGROW project are planning the European regions summit in Ljubljana, Slovenia which is going to be organised on 12th and 13th February 2019..
In this newsletter, you will find information about past, current and future project activities, key project results and upcoming events, as well as interesting conclusions drawn from the study visit in Thessaly region and from Gyor workshop. Through our project website and this periodic newsletter, we will keep you informed about our progress and key outcomes.
