Connecting Regional Innovation Valleys Open Session

Los próximos 21 y 22 de junio, el Gobierno del Principado de Asturias, representado por la Agencia de Ciencia, Competitividad Empresarial e Innovación Asturiana- Sekuens  junto con el Joint Research Centre of European Comission, organiza un evento centrado en la especialización tecnológica necesaria para afrontar el reto de la transición industrial hacia una economía circular y neutra en carbono.

El objetivo principal es establecer el escenario europeo para la autonomía estratégica industrial y la transición hacia la sostenibilidad y su impacto en territorios con alta concentración de industrias de alta intensidad energética, además de impulsar la colaboración entre las regiones que comparten con Asturias el reto de evolucionar hacia una industria circular y neutra en carbono.
