AII Permanent Secretariat participates in the NAVIMORE Kick-off Meeting - 8 September 2026, Ancona
On 8 September 2026, the Permanent Secretariat of the Adriatic-Ionian Initiative (AII-PS) participated in the Kick-off Meeting of NAVIMORE – “The Power of Data for Economic Enhancement”, a new project co-financed by the European Union under the Interreg Italy-Croatia 2021–2027 Programme, Third Call for Proposals.
The meeting officially marked the launch of the project activities and brought together project partners and associated partners to discuss NAVIMORE’s objectives, planned actions and next steps.
NAVIMORE focuses on the strategic use of data, digital tools and interoperability as drivers for economic development and stronger cross-border cooperation. By addressing data fragmentation and improving the capacity of institutions and relevant stakeholders to collect, share and use information more effectively, the project aims to contribute to more integrated and coordinated approaches across the two shores of the Adriatic.
A key element of the project will be the development of a Cross-Border Governance Model, designed to provide a shared framework for addressing common challenges and opportunities in the Italy-Croatia cooperation area and strengthening cooperation among institutions, territories and economic actors.
The AII Permanent Secretariat participates in NAVIMORE as an Associated Partner, bringing to the project its institutional experience and its network across the Adriatic-Ionian region. The Secretariat will contribute to promoting the project and its results among relevant institutions and stakeholders, supporting their dissemination and fostering links with the wider framework of regional and macro-regional cooperation.
Participation in NAVIMORE is consistent with the mission of the Adriatic-Ionian Initiative to promote dialogue, regional cooperation and closer connections among the countries and territories of the Adriatic-Ionian area. It also offers an opportunity to strengthen synergies between cross-border initiatives and broader cooperation processes in the Region.
Through improved interoperability, knowledge exchange and closer institutional cooperation, NAVIMORE seeks to develop solutions capable of supporting more connected, effective and sustainable cross-border governance, while creating results and experiences that can also be shared across the wider Adriatic-Ionian region.
The AII Permanent Secretariat looks forward to contributing to the implementation of NAVIMORE and to supporting the dissemination and capitalisation of its results within its institutional network.
NAVIMORE is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg Italy-Croatia 2021–2027 Programme.
