ADRAL, the Regional Development Agency of Alentejo, participated in the launch session of the new Discussion Group on Dual-Use Technologies by EURADA, in collaboration with the Dutch agency Oost NL.

During the meeting, the agency presented the practical case of Alentejo, sharing how they are integrating defense priorities and dual-use technologies into the regional development strategy and their Smart Specialisation Strategy (EREI Alentejo 2030).
This network brings together 17 European regions to share best practices, prepare joint positions, and identify cooperation opportunities. The initiative aims to transform the defense and security ecosystem into a driver of competitiveness and innovation for the territories.
ADRAL thus reinforces its presence and contribution in European innovation networks.
