3rd Regional Butterfly Innovation Forum on 26-27 November

The Regional Cooperation Council will organise the 3rd Regional Butterfly Innovation Forum in Podgorica, on 26-27 November 2024. 

The Forum aims to assist the development of a regional innovation ecosystem and a supportive innovation culture by showcasing practical innovation success stories from the WB. The Forum will focus on emphasising advancements in artificial intelligence and green transition fields. Two previous forum editions were held in Skopje and Sarajevo.

At the Forum’s margins, the RCC will organise two side events. First, the 3rd Butterfly Innovation Awards ceremony. Following the successful two editions of the regional Butterfly Innovation Award in 2022 (Tirana) and 2023 (Skopje), the RCC continues to praise creative individuals, students, companies and organisations in the Western Balkans for innovative, scalable, and market-based solutions. 

Second, Skills4Jobs event aims to influence policy changes that promote digital literacy and workforce upskilling, as partnerships between businesses and training providers. The Skills4Jobs event will also feature the first public presentation of the regional “Digital Pulse” tool co-developed by RCC and UNDP for businesses to self-assess their digital maturity. 

The events will take place at the Science and Technology Park Montenegro.
