Highlights
The EER award is a recognition of cities' and regions' efforts to advance innovative and sustainable development strategies, creating the conditions for a thriving and modern SME sector and promoting the green and digital transitions. I congratulate Mayor Barcelona, Penela and Western Pomerania on winning this year's award. Their example and leadership will inspire many other territories across the EU.
Vasco Alves Cordeiro, President of the CoR
We are totally committed with the pillars that should lead the European economies to assure a sustainable future for our populations. They must be green-based, digital and inclusive. No strategy is valid if a single person is left behind. Our candidacy focused on that, and also on our Entrepreneurship strategy with goals such as developing new hubs of economic activities, strengthening business competitiveness around the world and standing out for fostering new talent.
Pau Solanilla, Commissioner for City Promotion in the Barcelona City Council
Receiving this distinction by the European Committee of the Regions is the recognition of the commitment of Penela Municipality in the area of innovation and entrepreneurship as an essential path for the development of low population density territories. We recognise the importance in defining a sustainable local strategy, focused on innovation, competitiveness and entrepreneurship, achieved through the Master Plan for Innovation, Competitiveness and Entrepreneurship (PD-ICE). This allowed to create competitive advantages from the territory's differentiating factors and establish strategic partnerships.
Eduardo Jorge Mendes Nogueira dos Santos, Mayor of Penela
West Pomerania is a region with a modern and diversified economy, striving for a high level of innovation, focused around smart specialisations, especially in the areas of the green and blue economy. Taking into account its potential and situation, we intend to build a modern, competitive and sustainable economy, creating opportunities for both residents and business entities. This award will contribute to the creation of regional partnerships, as well as to the further implementation of an entrepreneurial and pro-innovative approach among residents and local businesses.
Olgierd Geblewicz, President of West Pomerania Region
