You may personally know the Matsopoulos Mill cultural centre from a previous visit or you may recall it from the description of the HackDay that was held there by e-trikala and Q-PLAN International in June 2018.

On September, 12th, the Hamburg team had a mission: having the quadruple helix stakeholders (citizens, public authorities, representatives from academia and industry representatives) select and endorse 5 concepts out of the 12 that came out of the Hackday.
