Celebrating the success of our CODIL Project Interregional Knowledge Transfer Event!
On 7 and 8 of November 2023, we have attended an incredibly productive project and knowledge transfer meeting in Seinäjoki, Finland, that was organized by the Regional Council of South Ostrobothnia.
The meeting was an excellent opportunity for all project partners to learn about the South Ostrobothnian examples of cooperation and innovation – Ruokaprovinssi – The Food Province, the NextGen – Future food waste reducing buffet dining, the University Consortium of Seinäjoki, with a focus on activities related to (digital) innovation. A site visit to Prima Power company was also organized – a global leader in laser and sheet metal machinery, where participants learnt about their innovation initiatives and R&D in global “mobile” environment, and discussed the post effects of COVID to remote/on-site working. Sharing experiences and knowledge, reviewing best practices from the project’s participating regions and discussing and coordinating the upcoming project activities were also part of the rich 2-day programme.
We are grateful to everybody who contributed to making this event a valuable experience of collaboration, insights, and transformative ideas on how to run innovation in distributed teams and ensure the vibrancy of our innovation ecosystems.
