During the Conference “Innovative Actions, Smart Jobs”, hosted by Avila County Council on 16 April 2013 in the framework of INTERREG IVC project Smart Europe, AER member regions discussed alongside politicians and policy makers from across the EU the specific issues and common challenges to overcome the economic crisis.

Promoting cooperation between SMEs and research institutes or universities, supporting the creation of clusters and innovative start-ups, stimulating job creation at local and regional level in order to tackle the growing unemployment rates, are a few of the topics on which public and private stakeholders exchanged best practices with the goal of boosting job creation in innovative sectors.
