The Workshop »PROGETTO DIVA: le pilot actions sul territorio Veneto« on June 23 had SMEs and CCIs as protagonists who, together with the Creative Hub Veneto, completed (with great success) seven pilot projects in the Veneto area. Led by the journalist and writer Maurizio Crema, the project teams told their stories and shared with the audience, albeit online, the remarkable results achieved, which opened the doors to future collaboration prospects. During the meeting, the new content of the Creative Hub Veneto website was also presented, now enriched with interviews with representatives of pilot projects, mapping results and the selection of tools from the DIVA toolkit.

On 31st May 2022, the Slovenian partners of the DIVA project gathered at the workshop "Transfer of knowledge and experience between SLO HUB units", hosted by the Technology Park Ljubljana. The participants exchanged experiences regarding the operation of HUBs and cooperation with DIVA pilot projects and prepared for the 2nd workshop, which will be held on 10th June in the Technology Park PTP on "Dissemination of knowledge and skills formed within the DIVA project."
