AGORADA+ & Clusters meet Regions is a high-level conference focused on exploring how regional development agencies, clusters, and various stakeholders can enhance collaboration in the implementation of regional and national economic development policies. The two-day event offers a unique platform for networking, knowledge-sharing, and discussions that can shape the future of regional development.
This year in particular, AGORADA+ under the name of Cosmic Malopolska, AGORADA+ discusses harnessing aerospace technologies, Smart City concepts, and life sciences for regional development.
As you already know, AGORADA+ 2023 is jointly organised with our Polish member, the Regional Development Agency of Malopolska (MARR), in partnership with the European Commission (EC) and the support of the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) in the context of a “Clusters Meet Regions” workshop.
With more than 80 participants already registered, during the different modules of AGORADA+ we will dive into the cosmic world. A broad range of highly renowned speakers will delve into how aerospace fosters regional development, Smart Cities, Life Science, and much more. Such speakers include Jakub Boratyński, European Commission, DG GROW Director Networks & Governance, Jerzy Muzyk, Vice President of City of Kraków and Prof. Dr. Hab. Tadeusz Uhl, AGH University of Science and Technology among many others. Plenty of time is reserved for participating in the discussion in-person, so register and grab the chance to make lasting connections.
What’s more, AGORADA+ will provide the opportunity to foster your next collaboration through our Pitching Session where several organisation will present their core business activities and the projects on which they would like to apply in 2024. For example, there will be several pitches from European Clusters on Innovative Space, Cleantech, Metal for Industry. Our Croatian Members from ZADRA Nova will pitch about new Interreg and Horizon calls, while our Spanish member EQA will present their quality evaluation service on your project proposals to help you secure funding for your projects.
