The Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument is a promising opportunity for European regions to boost innovation through cross-border cooperation. However, as a relatively new initiative, awareness and understanding of I3 Instrument remain limited among many potential applicants and policy stakeholders.
To bridge this gap, we are hosting a series of national and regional awareness-raising events. These sessions are designed to demystify the I3 Instrument and showcase how it can act as a catalyst for interregional innovation and investment.
Delivered in partnership with national and regional authorities responsible for Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) and innovation policy, these events:
- Offer clear, practical insights into how I3 funding works
- Demonstrate the strategic value of I3 for regional innovation ecosystems
- Help participants align I3 opportunities with their own regional development goals
- Create space for targeted dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders
Whether you are new to I3 or looking to build a more integrated innovation strategy, these events offer a valuable entry point into the opportunities the I3 Instrument presents.
Are you a regional or national authority interested in co-hosting an I3 outreach event in your country or region? We are looking to partner with innovation agencies, ministries, and S3 management bodies to bring these sessions to life.
