The Greentech and Circular Economy Innovation call, launched by the European Circular Economy Platform, targets startups and SMEs committed to sustainable solutions. The aim is to drive projects that promote circular practices, reduce waste, and optimize resource use in sectors such as agri-food, energy, manufacturing, and more.
This program offers selected companies the opportunity to gain visibility, access international networks, and receive financial and technical support. Additionally, participating startups will benefit from mentoring and training to develop their proposals and scale their businesses.
Through this call, the European platform seeks to strengthen the circular economy and green technology ecosystem, promoting a transition towards a more sustainable economy across Europe. The selected projects will contribute to the EU’s sustainability goals and have the potential to make a tangible impact within their respective industries.
This call, as part of the Federated Innovation @MIND initiative — promoted by Eni and MAIRE, in collaboration with A2A Life Company and supported by the Circular Economy Lab, an initiative by Cariplo Factory and Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center — aims to develop a Proof of Concept (POC) in the MIND-Milano Innovation District or within the industrial sites of participating companies.
Up to 10 startups will be selected and invited to a selection day to present their ideas to the competition organizers. Up to 3 solutions ready for implementation will be chosen for joint projects with A2A Life Company, Eni, and MAIRE.
The application deadline for the program is November 15, 2024.
