Based on a 2- days programme, it was focused on the topic: Culture and Innovation in CCIs ecosystems: mobilising local resources. It was combined with the start of the 6th Technology Transfer Exhibition -Patras Innovation Quest (Patras IQ) in Patras. This international exhibition was held on 12-14 April 2019 and co-organized by the Ministry of Education, Research & Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Economy and Development, the University of Patras, the Chamber of Commerce of Achaia, the Region of Western Greece, the Hellenic Open University and the Technological Educational Institute of Western Greece.

General introduction on Western Greece The Region of Western Greece includes three regional units (NUTS3): Aitoloakarnania (EL631), Achaia (EL632) and Helia (EL633). Consists of 19 municipalities and the number of inhabitants is 679.796 according to the 2011 census (the 6,28% of the population of Greece), with a population density of 60 inhabitants/km2. The surface covers 11.350 km² (the 8,6% of the surface of Greece). In the strategic priorities of RIS3 are including the Cultural Creative Industries (CCIs) as “smart specialization districts”. With appropriate adjustments, they can be the driving force of Western 3 Greece's economy, constituting actions with great implementation opportunities that enable the development of specialized activities. Restructuring and modernization of these dynamic economic activities of the Region of Western Greece (RWG), as well as the transformation of creativity through the exploitation of innovation and knowledge, can bring greater added value, posing a significant challenge to the achievement of the objective of smart specialization in RWG.
