Abstract

The GoToTwin project (INTERREG IPA ADRION PROGRAMME) deals with integration of renewable energy sources thus strengthening the innovation capacities in the region that is presented by partners from North Macedonia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Greece. The mentioned integration will go through a digital platform and will represent digital twins for each renewable energy source (sun, wind and water). Besides technical goals, this project will promote cross-sector collaboration, enable capacity building, create policies and establish cooperation networks across the region. This paper presents an overview of the project objectives together with a partial progress report since half of the project duration has passed.
