Event Objectives
The GR digiGOV-innoHUB Weekly Governance Forum is a recurring digital event series dedicated to fostering cross-sector dialogue on innovation, interoperability, and transformation in public administration. It brings together public sector stakeholders, academic institutions, SMEs, and civil society actors to share projects, technologies, and practices that advance digital governance.
PM² Alliance, in collaboration with European Academy and PM² EU, participated in the 26 November 2025 edition of the forum to present the SPM² – Sustainable Project Management through PM² project.
