RIJEKA DEVELOPMENT AGENCY PORIN d.o.o.
On 30 September 2020, as part of the project LO.PA.Z. PLUS (the project was co-financed by the European Union from the European Social Fund), employees of the members of the Local Partnership for Employment of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County participated in the seminar Systematic Entrepreneurship, after which they visited the newly renovated premises of the Torpedo Production Park. The space of the entrepreneurial incubator is part of the project Reconstruction and conversion of Hall 14 into a Technological and Educational Entrepreneurial Incubator Production Park Torpedo, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund from the Entrepreneurial Infrastructure Development Programme, OP Competitiveness and Cohesion and the City of Rijeka and the Rijeka Development Agency Porin d.o.o. (contract number KK.03.1.2.01.0047) in the total amount of 22,691,480,390 HRK, of which 97,218 grants%.
Coordinator for incubators of manufacturing activities and technology laboratory, Denis Lončar, led a group of LPZ PGŽ member employees through Teh-lab, which includes equipment for additive technology, i.e. 3D modelling, scanning and printing in plastics and sand. The equipment in question is among the most modern and rare in the wider area of our county. It will be an opportunity for many entrepreneurs, to improve knowledge through education and the use of services related to the improvement of their products. This will allow to increase the competitive capacity of a particular business entity as a benefit for our city and region in general.
Systematic Entrepreneurship Seminar Doris Sošić, President of LPZ PGŽ and project manager of LO.PA.Z. PLUS. The aim of the seminar was to introduce the employees of the members of LPZ PGC with the basics of encouraging entrepreneurship, i.e. understanding the process of creating entrepreneurial ideas and their realization.
Since May 2018, projects related to the work of county local employment partnerships have been implemented in all counties of the Republic of Croatia, since a call for proposals for this purpose was published under the European Social Fund. The aim was to develop activities that will enable the vulnerable target group to receive training through new skills and knowledge for the labour market and enable its members to function sustainably. Thus, the Rijeka Development Agency Porin d.o.o. submitted the project ‘Local Partnership for Employment of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County – LO.PA.Z. PLUS’ and participated in the implementation of the project activities ending in mid-November this year.
As provided for in the LPZ Cooperation Agreement, each LPZ will host once a year a meeting of the LPZ network, which will form the basis for better communication and exchange of information and the setting up of proposals for action and funding in the future programming period.
The above-mentioned LPZ Cooperation Agreement and proposals on the future of LPZs will be presented to the members at the session of the LPZ PGŽ in Rijeka, at the address RRA Porin, on Wednesday, 30 September 2020.

![[Blue Green City] The second online partner meeting was held](https://porin.hr/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Slika1-182x146.png)
On 10 September 2020, the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis/Euromed Cities Network organised a project meeting as part of the Blue Green City project. The meeting took place virtually, in line with COVID-19 safeguards.
The main topic discussed during this meeting was the organisation of a study visit to be held in Turin-Italy between 23 and 25 March 2020. Given the international context and the adoption of restrictive measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and in order to ensure the proper implementation of the project and the fulfilment of the planned activities, the Blue Green City project partnership decided to postpone this event until further notice.
Between 5 and 7 October 2020, the partnership will instead organise an online event, focusing on the experience-sharing process, the exchange of best practices identified by each partner and the development of the first action ideas to be included in the regional action plans.
