Conference on Interregional Innovation Funding and I3 Instrument-Supported Projects Highlights Braga Economy Weeks
Forum Braga will host, on May 21, the conference “The I3 Instrument in Practice: EU Funding for Interregional Innovation Investments, Success Stories from the Norte Region, and Tips for Future Applicants”, an initiative integrated into the “New Cycle for Innovation and Science” programme, promoted within the framework of the Braga Economy Weeks.
The session will begin at 2:00 PM and aims to present the I3 Instrument (Interregional Innovation Investments), a European Union initiative designed to support collaborative innovation projects between European regions.
The event will bring together institutional representatives, clusters, companies, technology centres and entities from the innovation ecosystem, promoting the sharing of experiences, funding opportunities and best practices associated with the development of collaborative European projects.
The conference will feature participation from CCDR NORTE, the Municipality of Braga, and the I3 Instrument Support Facility, as well as several entities from the Northern Region with projects already supported by this European mechanism, including CITEVE, Health Cluster Portugal, PRODUTECH Cluster, Tintex Textiles, and Arribas Wine Company.
Throughout the afternoon, concrete examples of funded projects will be presented, along with their regional impact and the main challenges associated with the preparation, implementation and long-term sustainability of these initiatives. The programme also includes a roundtable discussion dedicated to future opportunities under the I3 Instrument and to strengthening interregional cooperation in the field of innovation.
This initiative is part of the strategy to enhance the regional innovation and science ecosystem, reinforcing the positioning of Braga and the Northern Region as active territories in attracting European investment, technological development and international collaboration.
Participation is free of charge, subject to prior registration here.
