Second M&V Workshop was attended by SCT entities

Held on December 13th, at the Paços de Ferreira Business Association (AEPF) Facilities, the Workshop “M&V – Collaborative Innovation: the next step”, under the M&V Project: Challenge to Competitiveness, which was attended by associations, companies and also entities from the creative industry and the Scientific and Technological System (SCT).

Throughout the morning, central issues were discussed for the promotion of the competitiveness of companies in the region, namely by sharing solutions and brainstorming ideas in order to foster and facilitate the intuitive approach between companies and entities.

In the present workshop it was clear that, despite the recognized difficulties, the way forward is to promote collective strategies where resources or skills can be shared directly or indirectly through cooperation between companies and entities.

Thus, it was recognized the importance of cooperation and coopetition, to fill the lack of competitiveness between companies. The second M&V Workshop was another action funded through the Northern Regional Operational Program, the European Union and the European Regional Development Fund.
