6SAVA project: One year of boosting innovation in the Sava River region
The 6SAVA project, an EU funded Coordination and Support Action, is accelerating technology uptake and innovation across three Widening countries – Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Now marking the completion of its first year, the project has laid the groundwork for impactful collaboration across industry, research and policy sectors.
Key milestones in Year 1
The first year was dedicated to establishing the project’s main frameworks, strengthening its online presence, and developing initial technology demonstrators showcasing our technology to a broad network of engaged stakeholders. The efforts focused on aligning regional R&I funding initiatives with national start specialization priorities, and capacity building in the domains of IP management and technology uptake through both internal and external knowledge transfer. A major milestone was the launch of the 6SAVA Technology Uptake Platform, designed to connect end-users with tailored services and innovative solutions developed within the Consortium.
Next steps in Year 2
Looking ahead, the Consortium will focus on expanding the 6SAVA platform and positioning it as a central hub for technology adoption and collaboration. The next steps include pilot deployments of the technology, further aligning innovations with industry and policy needs, fostering partnerships to strengthen the regional innovation ecosystem and pursuing funding opportunities to drive impactful technological adoption.
