6SAVA project kick-off: Pioneering innovation across the Sava River basin
As a new driver of regional R&I development, 6SAVA is dedicated to enhancing knowledge transfer, technological advancement, and collaborative excellence across the Sava River basin, encompassing Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project leverages the successful outcomes and commercial potential of previous Research and Innovation Actions to contribute to boosting the innovation capacities, technology adoption and competitiveness in our region, which has yet to achieve the European benchmark in research and innovation performance. The project aims to align European and regional research initiatives and funding schemes to significantly increase the participation of local actors and foster innovation in the regional ecosystem. As part of this project, stakeholders from the region will be provided with free access to targeted modular training for building innovation capacities as well as the 6SAVA digital platform for technology adoption.
The project officially began with a kick-off meeting held in Belgrade, Serbia, on February 27. Funded by the Horizon Europe WIDERA programme, this Coordination and Support Action aims to catalyse the capacity building and adoption of innovative solutions in three Widening countries – Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. 6SAVA focuses on the strategic valorisation of the assets developed in H2020 SIXTHSENSE project, with a goal to set new standards in health monitoring, safety and efficiency for first responders and workers in demanding industrial environments.
This 30-month action, with overall funding of €1,198,040.00, gathers 5 partners from 4 European countries, underscoring the value of cross-border collaboration and expertise. Led by Tecnalia Serbia (Serbia), along with Telegroup Croatia (Croatia), Telegroup Bosnia (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Global Electronic Solution (Serbia) and Tecnalia Research & Innovation (Spain), the 6SAVA consortium ensures a comprehensive approach to technology valorisation and exploitation, in line with the strategic needs of the region.
