Entrepreneurs and scientists from Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and European Hanseatic cities were invited to participate. HIE-RO took the opportunity to present the Interconnect project.

The idea pitching event was split into 7 cross-industry topics (life science, logistics, tourism economy, renewable energy, food & agriculture, creative industries and maritime economy) and 7 parallel lectures, limited to 800 seconds per lecture and 800 second discussion.

Participants of the Interconnect lecture engaged in the discussions about common ticketing systems and the issues of long distance / cross-border travels via public transport.
