The first annual Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument Forum will take place in Brussels on 24-25 September 2025. Policymakers, regional authorities, and innovation leaders will gather to discuss the impact of the I3 Instrument, share best practices, and foster collaboration. The Forum will highlight successful I3 Instrument projects, synergies, and innovative approaches, shaping the future of interregional investments in Europe.
The first day of the Forum will be a high-level political event, with registration open to all. The programme will feature a plenary session and panel discussions on topics like building sustainable interregional value chains, aligning I3 with S3 and other funding instruments, and connecting regional priorities with EU challenges.
The second day of the Forum will be the I3 Instrument Coordinators Day, held at EISMEA premises, with participation by invitation only. I3 project coordinators will be invited to share implementation experiences, explore synergies, and identify cooperation opportunities. The day will also include member meetings offered by the I3 Support Facility, namely I3 Discussion Groups and the Capacity Building Heroes Working Group.
Save the date! Registration for the first day of the Forum will be open to all in due course.
