NORTEXCEL2020 is a common project between the Portugese region of Norte and JOANNEUM RESEARCH, and currently focuses on developing ideas on how the industrial structures of the regions could be improved during the next few years.

The partners from Portugal spent a few days (30 November – 3 December) in Graz to identify a number of projects and activities in the areas of health and AAL which can lead to future collaborations between Styrian and Portuguese partners.

RegionAAL is seen as an exemplary project within the area of “pilot regions for the use of AAL technologies and to show the effectiveness of such solutions” which can be further developed as a common initiative in the future.
