8th edition of our traditional event Torpedo Days dedicated Reinterpretation of Rijeka's industrial heritage through technology, innovation and sustainability.
As a city that gained recognition thanks to a technological breakthrough such as Torpedo, Rijeka still bears a strong innovation identity only in new, modern forms. That is why this year's Torpedo Days 08 will connect the industrial past with the city's digital and green future.

In three thematic units we will connect Rijeka's technological present with industrial heritage and future development directions. Representatives Own.Solution, Hartera Robotics, Medusa Technologies, Nomiea, Exevio, Croator, Eduza, Sinergana, Rijeka City Library, Rijeka Sport, City of Rijeka and EDIH Adria The project will talk about new innovation plants, the transformation of industrial spaces and cooperation between the community, entrepreneurs and the public sector in shaping the sustainable and digital future of Rijeka.
