Raw Materials — key for innovation and growth in the Post-COVID world
When our societies are gradually implementing recovery plans, we must ensure that the transition to a post-COVID-19 society is as sustainable as possible. Top-level research and innovative business creation are crucial to achieving this. At our Stakeholder Day, we shall give the stage to leading entrepreneurs, innovators and top-level researchers in our community in the Baltic Sea region. We want to inspire people to create thriving new businesses, learn about new innovations and look beyond industry borders.
