Päijät-Häme Regional Council Stakeholder Progress Meeting

On June 12th, 2024, a stakeholder meeting took place focusing on the LIM3 Cantabria project and good practices. Participants included various stakeholders who shared their experiences and personal insights. Key attendees reviewed the good practices presented during the event and evaluated their potential application.

In parallel, discussions centered around the LOTTI Local Dialogues. The Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE), in collaboration with the City of Lahti, is organizing a discussion on September 27-28 with the theme "Digital age identity crisis: Does locality still matter?" The LOTTI team decided to participate, aiming to explore the role of local identity and strengths in the digital age. The group also highlighted the growing importance of social entrepreneurship, noting that both the EU and OECD are fostering this trend. An event on October 4th was planned to address the transformation of entrepreneurship, with plans to hire external support for organizing the Local Dialogues.

The meeting concluded with a decision for the next gathering to be hosted by LUHTA, a major player in the local textile industry, focusing on how the company adapted to structural changes in the sector.
