On 27 October, SCEPA took part in the first edition of Interreg Spotlight at De Rijtuigenloods in Amersfoort. Around 400 visitors gathered to share knowledge, learn from other projects and find new partners for future collaboration.
Europe's Interreg community in one place
Interreg Spotlight was organised by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), together with Interreg. Visitors included representatives of six Interreg programmes, experienced project partners and people discovering Interreg for the first time. Interactive workshops covered testing project ideas, the upcoming 2028–2034 programme period and the opportunities and challenges of AI.
Testing ChatEp
At the SCEPA stand, visitors could test ChatEP live. ChatEP is our tool that makes energy poverty easier to discuss and understand. Trying it in person led to great conversations and many new contacts. Read more about ChatEP here.
