The event was attended by about forty participants, including entrepreneurs, teaching staff, representatives from the City of Rijeka and the Rijeka Development Agency Porin.
Project Frugal Innovation aims to contribute to strengthening entrepreneurial knowledge and skills by introducing, adapting and integrating the Concept of Saving Innovation (frugal innovation) into the European education system.

Participants at the event were encouraged to exchange their experiences and practices and, to get involved in the project through education or as teachers who will teach on the topic.
