Meelis Kitsing at The Three Seas Summit and Business Forum

According to Kitsing cooperation in the field of innovation plays a vital role in strengthening common initiatives in the digital, energy and transport infrastructure development.  “The main challenge is very diverse levels of innovation ecosystems in the Three Seas region,” said Kitsing.  “Key drivers for future are essentially the nature of cooperation within the European Union and capacity to make sustainable investments for advancing innovation infrastructure,” added Kitsing.

The 3SI unites countries from the Baltic Sea, Black Sea and Adriatic Sea. The initiative was launched in 2015. The 3SI investment fund aims to allocate 3-5 billion euros for advancing cooperation in digital, energy and transport areas.

US president Joe Biden, Estonian president Kersti Kaljulaid, German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Polish president Andrzej Duda, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgiava and many other presidents, ministers, entrepreneurs, researchers and top officials are among the speakers at the Three Seas Initiative Summit and Business Forum in Sofia Bulgaria on July 8-9.
