Rijeka Development Agency Porin d.o.o. is a partner on the project TEMPUS (TEMPorary USes as start-up actions to enhance port (in)tangible heritage) co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund from the Interreg V-A Italy-Croatia Programme. The implementation of the project is slowly coming to an end, with the remaining activities in which we want to involve you.
The aim of the project is the regeneration of abandoned urban port areas, respecting the cultural heritage and customs of the community. In this sense, TEMPUS implements an integrated set of temporary use activities (TUA), focused on the idea of city ports as a mixed tradition, history, activities, architecture and culture. Project activities pass through the past and present of the port of Rijeka in order to highlight tangible and intangible heritage. Entrepreneurial ideas based on innovative solutions aim to improve a certain aspect of services or products in order to encourage further development in the area of the port of Rijeka. To this end, 7 March 2023, starting at 12.00 and ending at 4 p.m., organises INNOVATHON (HACK DAY) at Torpedo Production Park at the Rijeka Development Agency Porin d.o.o., at Milutina Barača 60/I. floor (conference hall).
INNOVATHON is an open competition for innovation, a kind of ‘marathon of ideas’ that encourages participants to contribute to innovation processes. It focuses on finding innovative and creative solutions and inspirations for new actions, products and/or services. Participants were invited to design an innovative project relying on their technical knowledge, creativity, adaptation spirit, problem-solving skills and teamwork. During the event, and with individual experience and mutual differences, participants are grouped into teams in which they elaborate ideas in order to find common solutions to the challenges posed.
We hereby invite experts from ICT, cultural, maritime, entrepreneurial, tourism and other sectors, as well as students (18 to 35 years of age), to join teams that will describe and/or develop innovative ICT tools that provide and/or promote impressive experiences of applications on computer/mobile devices through real and virtual elements, for the purpose of informing, entertaining and gathering people. The best ideas will be placed on the TEMPUS project platform as an opportunity to build a community for further communication.
Applications are sent to the following e-mail address: info@porin.hr by 6 March 2023 for the purpose of organising teams composed of different sector representatives.
