In this crucial year, not only for the secondary sector but for the entire economic and social ecosystem, the interventions are facing the audacious challenge of relaunching the industrial forum for clean energy. A theme that cannot be postponed, but must have a central role on the discussion table.
For this reason, a new hackathon has been planned. This type of event enables to start innovative projects, which are able to develop ideas that have never been considered before and make fundamental contacts. The key objective is to restart in a more “healthy” way, successfully addressing the most urgent challenges in the field of intelligent health within the EU.
The European dialogue platform, which has been created in these 4 years, will also be improved and updated in relation to the latest events. A new and even more fruitful collaboration between partners who will come together in clusters, focused on a transformation towards digital and green, proactive towards economic recovery.
We are confident that at the end of the EU Industry Days, new solutions and constructive perspectives will be identified for European industry.
