As part of the project, we have developed tools to support SMEs with the uptake of circular innovation. Now we want to share these tools with stakeholders who support European SMEs in their transition towards a circular economy.
The foundation of our initiative lies in embracing sustainable practices and fostering a circular economy mindset. We believe that through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we can pave the way for a more environmentally conscious and economically viable future. To reach the Green Deal goals of a climate neutral economy and decoupling economic growth from resource use, transition of EU SMEs towards a circular economy is crucial. We as SMEs advisors can support companies on their transition journey!
During the training, scheduled to take place on 24 January at 9.00-13.00 on ZOOM platform we aim to present the tools and methodology developed by the Up2Circ team to support SMEs with the uptake of circular innovation. SMEs from all eligible countries within Horizon Europe can participate in the Up2Circ Academy and can apply for up to 50,000 € lump sum funding for their CE implementation projects with deadlines in 5/2024 and 5/2025.
Who is the training for?
Participation is open to staff from EU innovation support networks such as Enterprise Europe Network and other institutions that support European SMEs in their green transition and/or access to funding. All participants can learn what tools are available to support SMEs in circular innovation and support them in applying for Up2Circ EU funding.
After the training you will get an access to CE advisory toolbox.
Together we can accelerate and scale up the transition of European SMEs towards a Circular Economy.
