This is a complex tool that accelerates the green transition of local pioneers, SMEs, and local communities. Beyond single-entity solutions, emphasis is placed on the synergetic interactions of ecosystem actors. It includes measurement, planning, matchmaking, and expert assistance for identified needs such as business modeling, technology support for prototyping, and guidance on external financing. Matchmaking is facilitated through a mapping tool developed from sectorial analysis and opened up as an online marketplace in the regions. In addition to testing the accelerator, knowledge exchange is facilitated by 4 study visits that center around relevant circular models. By providing comprehensive support services and fostering cross-border collaboration, the accelerator empowers participants to embrace environmentally friendly solutions and achieve sustainable growth.

Our project is committed to formulating comprehensive strategies and action plans that lay the foundation for long-term circular economy development. These documents will guide regional policies and initiatives, enabling our target groups to enhance their capacities, increase knowledge, and fully exploit the potential of circular economy practices in the food, catering, and packaging sectors.
