Through its continuous and active participation in the Sector Groups of the Enterprise Europe Network, PRAXI Network plays a dynamic role in shaping European developments across strategic areas of innovation – from health and tourism to electronics and high technologies.

Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) hosts thematic groups of experts that provide specialized support to enterprises across key economic sectors. These groups facilitate cross-border connections between supply and demand, offering tailored services that address the specific needs of industries such as health, agri-food, tourism, and smart energy, as well as other fields including aeronautics, electronics, and maritime technologies.

The Sector Groups serve as collaborative platforms where advisors, researchers, and professionals from all over Europe exchange knowledge, showcase best practices, and jointly design initiatives that foster innovation and entrepreneurship.

As the coordinator of the Enterprise Europe Network Hellas, the PRAXI Network represents Greece in these groups, contributing substantially to bridging the Greek business community with European technology and innovation ecosystems.

Within this European framework, PRAXI Network recently participated in a series of Sector Group meetings, representing the Enterprise Europe Network Hellas across key strategic fields.

Sector Group Health

On 14–15 October 2025, Evangelia Athanailidou, Technology Transfer Consultant at the PRAXI Network, participated in the Sector Group Health meeting held at the CEC – Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Coimbra, Portugal.

The meeting served as an excellent opportunity to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange in the fields of health and biotechnology, with the participation of representatives from DG GROW, EISMEA, and organizations such as BIOCANT, IPN, and Shine 2Europe.

Discussions focused on future priorities and actions of the Sector Group Health for 2025, further strengthening cooperation among the European hubs of the Network.

During the meeting, participants were briefed by EISMEA on the latest European developments and initiatives in the sector, while the visit to the Tyndall Research Institute provided valuable insight into ongoing collaborations between research institutions and businesses.

Sector Group Tourism

Innovation and sustainable development in the European tourism sector were at the center of discussions during the Sector Group Tourism conference, held on 30–31 October 2025 in Paestum, Italy, and hosted by the BRIDGEconomies Consortium.

Maria Angelopoulou, Business & Innovation Consultant at the PRAXI Network, represented Enterprise Europe Network Hellas and, together with Dr. Snezana Kirin from the University of Belgrade, presented the European Planning Laboratory – an initiative promoting innovative collaborations and knowledge transfer among European organizations.

The conference gathered representatives from across Europe and focused on exchanging best practices, exploring funding opportunities, and fostering synergies with other thematic groups of the Network.

Participants also had the opportunity to experience examples of sustainable tourism through visits to local enterprises and cultural heritage sites, linking innovation with cultural identity and regional development.

A Common Vision for European Collaboration

Through its active participation in the Sector Groups of the Enterprise Europe Network, the PRAXI Network reinforces its role as a bridge between Greek and European innovation, supporting businesses, research institutions, and organizations in creating collaborations with real added value.

The active engagement of PRAXI Network’s experts in these European groups underlines the commitment of Enterprise Europe Network Hellas to strengthen Greece’s international presence and contribute to shaping a resilient and innovative European ecosystem.
