Nice video by Singapore Manufacturing Federation capturing the spirit of the evening networking :) Some people asks me, what do I get from joining an association? Is it “worth the time” or “what’s the payback”? 1️⃣ This is eco-system participation….and a marketplace of sort. 2️⃣ Hear out what others are doing - wins, loss and opportunities 🕺🏻 3️⃣ Peer support - hearing that others have the same headaches and challenges as you, can be quite therapeutic 😅 4️⃣ Having a common voice as “industry”… knowing well there are academia and government. 5️⃣ Having the identify as 🇸🇬 or 🇸🇬+🇩🇪 for my case… there’s strength in unity, or if all fails, having someone to share the latest travel tips is not too bad. 6️⃣No doubt digital platforms has closed the distance between people, but people-people interaction is still very relevant. Have more to add on? 😉

📣 The #RegionalInnovationValleys are selected! Commissioners Iliana Ivanova and Elisa Ferreira announced the 151 regions – including over 70 #ERRINmembers – at the European Committee of the Regions plenary session yesterday. The announcement was done one year after the launch of the call for expression of interest and the calls for proposals under EIE part of #HorizonEU and #I3Instrument of ERDF in 2023. Selected regions will now work to harness the potential of deep-tech innovation by enhancing the coordination and directionality of their R&I investment and policies towards key EU priorities, strengthening their R&I ecosystems and engaging in R&I collaboration with more and less advanced regions with complementary smart specialisations (#S3). We are thrilled to note that 73 #ERRINmember regions can now call themselves Regional Innovation Valleys. Congratulations to all our successful members, including regions of our Policy and Smart Specialisation Working Group leaders: Basque Country, Central Sweden European Office (North Middle Sweden and East Middle Sweden), Région Normandie, North-East Romania RDA - Brussels Office, Région Sud - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Scotland Europa, Region Skåne (South Sweden), Regione Toscana and Wielkopolska. Among the 151 identified RIVs, 79 regions received the label based on answering the call for EoI and 72 regions are on track to become RIVs after successful participation in the calls for proposals – 15 projects will be granted a total of around EUR 116 million through the ERDF and Horizon Europe funding, and committed to co-fund another €77 million from private and public sources. Apart from funding, the European Commission aims to support these regions through community building activities, matchmaking events and targeted communication actions. New RIV calls under Horizon Europe with a total budget of EUR 40 million are expected in 2025! 💡 ERRIN has been closely following the RIV initiative, engaging in discussions and continuously supporting members in applying to the related calls through mapping, matchmaking and knowledge sharing activities, following high interest from the community. We look forward to offering opportunities for ERRIN members to share their RIV experiences and to support peer-learning among the 120 innovative European regions part of the network, as well as facilitate applying to the future RIV calls next year. ➡ Learn more and find the list of successful ERRIN member regions here: https://lnkd.in/d93m8FaS
