"The EU Compass for Innovative Competitiveness" is the first event organised by the Belgian-Italian Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with ANSA and Belga Agency as part of the project MEDIA4COHESION – “Media Partnerships for Promoting EU Cohesion Policy”.

The meeting will explore the impact of various tools of the European Union's cohesion policy – ERDF, STEP initiative, I3 instrument, S3 partnerships– through which to translate the potential of territorial development into innovative and competitive regional strategies, in line with EU priorities.

The discussion moderated by ANSA will include representatives from the European Commission and regional realities from Italy and Belgium, who will share their concrete experiences with the audience.

The exchange between the speakers and the audience will continue during the aperitif offered by the Chamber at the conclusion of the event.
