REAVES goes Places

Second Transnational Partner Meeting in the Culture Pearl Jakobstad, Finland

The REAVES project has taken a next step on the way to creating a better dissemination of the results of the 22 projects fuelling REAVES and bringing forward the CCI sector. During our second transnational partner meeting from 23 to 25 March 2026 in the picturesque town of Jakobstad/Pietarsaari, Finland, we deepened our understanding for the sectors’ structural differences and similarities as well as starting working on a roadmap towards activating the quintuple helix. While the first retreat in September 2025 was characterised by getting to know the different projects and finding a shared language, this meeting focused on determining the tools and results that can be combined, improved and carried on in REAVES. Next to the half-frozen sea and underneath the northern lights, lively discussions were held, experiences with incubation and acceleration programmes were exchanged which were reflected in new activities that were sketched and planned. Upcoming events this year attended and workshops executed by REAVES members are the Networking Village and a Breakout Session at the EUSBSR Annual Forum, Gamescom, Reeper Bahn Festival and more. Other activities which still need more refinement are a bootcamp on a boat to SHLUSH, regional policy round tables and more.

We look forward to continuing our shared road towards a better connection between sectors, regions and stakeholders in the CCI sector and the quintuple helix!
