A presentation of the InnoCoop project was held in Bečej on 28 October 2026, followed by consultations with stakeholders on the challenges and opportunities for improving cross-sectoral cooperation in the fields of agribusiness, manufacturing and services, with a particular focus on tourism.
The event was organised in the Main Hall of the Municipality of Bečej, with the participation of representatives from the business sector, agriculture and local government, whose activities and responsibilities connect these sectors.
During the event, the key elements of the InnoCoop project were presented, followed by consultations with representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs. The discussions focused on assessing the current situation, validating the findings of previous analyses, and identifying needs, challenges and potential for developing new forms of cooperation across different economic sectors.
The analyses are based on information collected through direct communication with businesses, as well as online questionnaires. The insights gained provide an important basis for better understanding the needs of the economy and identifying opportunities to improve cooperation, exchange knowledge and develop joint initiatives.
The Regional Development Agency Bačka (RDA Bačka) is implementing the InnoCoop project – Improving Policies to Foster Innovative Cooperation among SMEs in Rural Areas, within the Interreg Europe programme. Taking into account the diverse needs and challenges of rural areas, the project aims to develop better-tailored and territorially specific policies that will contribute to increased activity among small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs in these areas.
