n early October, the partners of the RISE project gathered in Banja Luka for an inspiring two-day regional meeting, hosted by DIH ONEX. During the meeting, participants discussed the progress of pilot activities, lessons learned from local work with SMEs, and the next steps in developing the B2GREENHUB ecosystem and the transnational mentoring strategy.

As part of the meeting, the partners took part in engaging discussions on impact assessment, regional action plans, and communication initiatives. The exchanges contributed to strengthening inter-partner collaboration and aligning efforts to support innovation and the sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Central and Eastern Europe.

The RAPIV team joined the meeting online and presented preliminary results from the impact assessments conducted so far on companies seeking digital and green solutions in Bulgaria.
