NRW.innovativ visits the "Innovation Day for SMEs 2023" of the BMWK in Berlin
On June 15, the BMWK's SME Innovation Day 2023 took place in Berlin under the motto "Change through Innovation." Around 300 exhibitors presented their innovative new developments, supported by the BMWK's open-topic funding programs. Despite the open-topic nature of the funding, a large proportion of the supported projects addressed future-oriented topics such as climate protection, sustainability, and digitalization. The event also provided participants from business, politics, and government with an opportunity to engage in dialogue.

Date: June 15
Organizer: BMWK
Number of participants: approx. 2,000
