2. b) to investigate the factors that determine the participation of Greek companies in GVCs and the benefits that arise from this participation,
3. c) analyzing the correlations between participation in GVCs, innovation performance, and international competitiveness at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels,
4. d) the formulation of evidence-based policy proposals to support Greece’s strategies in the field of research, technology, and innovation.

The Validation Workshop will be attended by business executives, policymakers, researchers, and academics with significant knowledge and experience in this field. The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss the main findings of the research project to confirm the reliability, relevance, and usefulness of the results, as well as to formulate appropriate public policy and business strategy proposals.  In this context, an organized panel discussion will also be held with executives from industrial companies who participated in the project’s field survey.
