On 6–7 October 2026, Athens will host Clusters Meet Regions 2026 – Attica, bringing together clusters, policymakers, researchers, industry leaders, SMEs, startups and innovators from across Europe to explore the future of regional innovation, competitiveness and collaboration.
The event will provide a platform for exchange and collaboration around the role of clusters in strengthening regional ecosystems and driving innovation-led growth. Discussions will focus on how clusters can contribute to:
- Accelerating innovation uptake, commercialisation and scale-up
- Supporting SME growth, productivity and internationalisation
- Connecting regional actors around smart specialisation priorities and interregional investment opportunities
- Strengthening ecosystem collaboration and coordination to enable scaling
- Facilitating integration into European value chains and opening new market opportunities
As part of this European event, we are proud to contribute to the programme with an exclusive site visit to our Test before Invest facility in Koropi (CogniSensus), on 7 October.
The site visit will offer participants the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into our research and innovation activities and discover how advanced technologies and collaborative research can contribute to real-world innovation and regional development.

We look forward to welcoming researchers, businesses, policymakers, clusters, innovators and ecosystem partners from across Europe to Athens for two days of meaningful exchange, collaboration and innovation.
