eTa – Wind Blades Solutions Carlo Durante – Founder and Board Member
NEXT Adriatic Investment Forum Global Entrepreneurship Congress 2015
Topic Debate about latest trends of entrepreneurial ecosystems within the Adriatic-Ionian Macro-Region. During the event the contribution of regional stakeholders will be presented together with the point of view of entrepreneurs. The debate will develop around demand and supply issues among issues connected to accessibility of services though NEXT-IS platform and their relevance in the international arena. Objectives
9 Showcase the approach to entrepreneurship by Adriatic-Ionian Macro-Region stakeholders (both public and private) and frame it into the international dimension
9 Present business cases to a wide international audience
9 Exploit potential for further actions beyond the NEXT project
9 Promote the business and project matchmaking through NEXT-IS platform
Expected results
9 Allow stakeholders from the NEXT partnership to present in front of a potential audience of investors and peers.
9 Access to international practices to be further investigated/exploited to strengthen Adriatic-Ionian Macro-Region entrepreneurial ecosystems
Expected Output
9 opportunities for further partnerships investigated by the NEXT partners thanks to the meeting held during the GEC 2015
