The objective of the RegioStars Awards is to identify good practices in regional development and to highlight original and innovative projects which could be attractive and inspiring to other regions.

RegioStars – The Awards for Innovative Projects – form part of the enhanced communication effort proposed in the Communication on Regions for Economic Change (COM(2006) 675).

The communication states that “integral to the communication policy of Regions for Economic Change will be the creation of annual innovation awards for best projects in the areas of selected themes linked to economic modernisation.
