RobotUnion Smart Specialization in Robotics session at EU Week of Regions and Cities
Most of the developing regions struggle to find out proper innovation instruments that could enhance the so-called entrepreneurial discovery process behind the Smart Specialisation concept in Robotics. RobotUnion consortium believes that the processes and methodologies used within the project at the pan-European level can generate a spillover effect for European regions too, leveraging from the ‘European Structural and Investment Funds’. Do not miss the opportunity to attend their Q&A session on 13th October 2020! Find out more about the event here.
