RCC hosts the second Butterfly Innovation and Business Forum in Sarajevo

The Second Butterfly Innovation and Business Forum took place from 6-7 December in Sarajevo. It was hosted by the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) in partnership with the EU4DigitalSME – Innovation and Digitalisation in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in BiH – project implemented by GIZ and the Enterprise Europe Network.

This year’s Forum focused on promoting sustainable models of academic and business cooperation and the power of Digital Innovation Hubs, start-ups, partnering with higher education institutions, and outstanding innovative initiatives making waves across South-East Europe. Captivating speakers shared their first-hand transformative experiences in line with the motto “Imagine. Innovate. Create…”

The Forum gathered an impressive group of innovation practitioners who shared lessons learned about developing innovation ecosystems and academia-business cooperation. This activity is part of the Common Regional Market Action Plan, and is co-financed by the European Union.
