- to share innovation strategies and to discuss the best practices on how to support SMEs and to<br />

turn innovations into products in the areas of photonics and advanced manufacturing;<br />

- to discuss how policy programmes and instruments at different levels can be applied in the<br />

interest of the regional and European competitiveness;<br />

- to discover the power of photonics as a key enabling technology and to improve the<br />

understanding of photonics and what it can do for your region.<br />

The workshop provided several presentations outlining regional policies, and smart specialization<br />

strategies as well as first experiences and lessons learnt on combining ESIF and Horizon 2020 funds in<br />

single projects. Approximately 30 participants, mainly from national technology platforms, clusters and<br />

regional authorities, contributed to the workshop.<br />
