Better delivery and higher effectiveness of the services provided by PA to SMEs and young entrepreneurs, promotion of a continuous and profitable dialogue between public and private sector eventually leading to evidence-based policy making are key issues of discussion at regional as well as international level. On top of that, the new challenges that aroused from the COVID-19 pandemic need to be timely tackled in order to facilitate economic recovery, stability and development.
These and other topics will be discussed during the web-conference “International cooperation and post-COVID-19 regional development policies” which will be held online on July 23rd 2020.
