NODES and the projects funded by the Ecosystem in Southern Italy: the Roadshow.

Starting in October with a double event between Oristano and Potenza, after the stops in Catania and Benevento, the tour concludes in Bari at the end of November.
A rich journey of events awaits NODES in October and November, with stops on the Roadshow designed specifically to explore the progress and investment capacity of projects funded in Southern Italy by the innovation Ecosystem through Cascading Grants.
The Roadshow is an important opportunity to discuss the validity of projects funded in Southern Italy and to promote collaboration between companies, universities, and stakeholders, opening new opportunities for synergies in the fields of innovation and sustainability.
