We invite you to participate in a working group meeting within the project InnoCoop – Improving Policies to Foster Innovative Cooperation among Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Rural Areas, and a presentation of the project BIOPRO Regions – Regions for Bio and Proximal Products. Both projects are implemented under the Interreg Europe programme.
The meeting will take place on 21 October 2026, starting at 10:30 a.m., at Eđšeg Cultural Station, Antona Čehova 4, Novi Sad.
The meeting will include stakeholder consultations on the opportunities and challenges of cross-sectoral and interregional cooperation in agribusiness, manufacturing and tourism. Discussions will cover:
- presentation and validation of preliminary research findings;
- identification of key challenges and barriers to cooperation;
- exchange of experiences and examples of good practice;
- proposals for improving cooperation among relevant stakeholders.
The BIOPRO Regions project, which focuses on improving policies in the field of sustainable production and consumption, will also be presented.
