Host partners organised Mid Term Phase 1 Event that included local target groups from students, entrepreneurs and people working in the field of innovation. With this TRINNO Project got the opportunity to get linked with targeted audience, to get an in-depth overview on Hungary and Szeged region innovative environment and to address topics of digitalisation, its challenges and future technologies in Csongrád County. From first year Project has upgraded its pace from collecting and presenting »Business support ecosystem report« to digital innovation concept which is linked to the business ecosystem one, but also to the policy framework in which effective digital innovation support services can be offered. Both mentioned were also a red line of this important event and meeting in Hungary.

Second part - Fourth Interregional Learning Event was based on participative sessions and a study visit.

But this Event had a greater added value to the Project, with Dream Action Plans Partners learned from each other about good practices from 5 countries and different regions, they discussed about potential investments for micro companies, ways for advanced networking among different sectors, industries and entrepreneurs, ways to incorporate digital innovations into traditional sectors and ways to attract national governments for investments - to expand the DREAM INTO REALITY.
