As part of the completion of the “Ports as Driving Wheels of Entrepreneurial Realm – PoWER” Project, the Final Event “From Ports to Hubs, from Hubs to Network” was held online on 26–27 November 2020 via the Zoom digital platform. The purpose of this event was to present the project’s achievements and the establishment of the Innovation Hubs Network, as well as to facilitate discussions—through roundtable sessions among key experts from the Adriatic-Ionian Region—on topics such as the evolution of ports following the COVID-19 outbreak, the strengths and challenges of transition paths identified by the PoWER project for the development of ports into Innovation Hubs.
The first day of the PoWER Project Final Event was a closed-door meeting attended only by the project partners. The meeting began with a welcome address by Marco Padula, Project Coordinator, Institute for Construction Technologies – National Research Council of Italy, followed by a presentation on the PoWER project, its objectives, and results by Francesca Picenni, Institute for Construction Technologies – National Research Council of Italy.
