What is it about?
In an era defined by rapid technological shifts, climate challenges, and evolving societal needs, the idea of the “smart” or “innovative” economy has moved from buzzword to blueprint. But how exactly do cities and regions make the leap from ambition to action? What does it take to build an innovation ecosystem that is inclusive, sustainable, and economically viable?
In this webinar, BABLE, supported by experts from Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, and the UK, will explore the innovation ecosystem as a dynamic environment - how can public sector ambition, private sector agility, academic insight, and community energy best come together to solve real-world challenges effectively? Join us as we decode the journey to build a stronger blueprint for smart and innovative economies.
