Approach and implementation
This year´s competition was held digitally due to the pandemic - this worked very well. However, we believe that the opportunities to network were negatively affected. The extra focus we had on follow-up after the event was successful and led to several new applications within the framework of SMI and through other instruments. It also led to further contacts between SMEs and large companies.
