The first two days of the program connect participants with young talent, economists, and cultural figures from Tyrol, South Tyrol, and Trentino, as reported by agenziagiornalisticaopinione.it. Thursday’s agenda features a roundtable discussion hosted by the Euregio Academy to mark the 15th anniversary of the Euregio’s formal constitution.
Former presidents Luis Durnwalder of South Tyrol, Günther Platter of Tyrol, and Lorenzo Dellai of Trentino are scheduled to participate in the anniversary roundtable. The initial phase of the schedule also includes debates concerning cross-border university cooperation, industrial and technological futures, and exchanges between economic and cultural sectors.
