CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Innovating together for resource-efficient, resilient, and circular value chains



We support circular economy innovators, developers and investors to secure funding and to develop and scale-up solutions that decouple growth from resource use and enable sustainable, circular value chains across industries.

Accelerating the transition to a circular economy

The circular economy is a cornerstone of Europe’s sustainability and competitiveness agenda. By shifting from linear “take-make-waste” models to circular systems, organisations can reduce environmental impact, strengthen resource security and unlock new business opportunities. Circular solutions enable more efficient use of materials, longer product lifecycles and recovery of value from waste and by-products. 

At the same time, circular economy innovations are inherently complex. They require systemic change across value chains, new collaboration models and alignment between technology development, regulation, markets and financing. Solutions often cut across sectors such as manufacturing, construction, energy, mobility and consumer goods, making coordination, logistics and scalability critical success factors.  

Public funding and collaborative innovation programmes play an important role in enabling circular economy transition. They support high-risk development, cross-sector pilots and large-scale demonstrations that help circular solutions move from concept to market adoption.

How can we help you?


Our project engagements span the journey from opportunity framing and concept design to pilot projects, scale-up and market entry. Circular economy projects are delivered in multi-partner, cross-border settings, where technical feasibility, sustainability performance, business models and funding strategy must be integrated. 

We clarify your opportunity and business case, build a technically credible and commercially sound project and identify the right partners for the project. We prepare competitive funding proposals aligned with relevant EU and national funding calls and help secure the funding required to move from pilot to industrial deployment. In case of a successfully funded project, we can guide your Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) process and provide coordination support to the consortium to keep timelines, compliance and results on track.

We also carry out circular economy related strategy assessments, market studies, studies on the value of AI in circular economy, and value chain and network analyses. These assignments helps you develop your partnership strategy and financing strategy, including your funding roadmap.

Who do we work with?​


We work with organisations across circular value chains to turn ambitious ideas into funded and impactful innovation projects. Our experts support growth companies, large enterprises, technology providers, material producers, brand owners, waste and recycling operators, research organisations and public authorities.

Our expertise within circular economy


Circular economy innovation applies to materials, processes, products and systems. Our domain expertise covers key subdomains where resource efficiency, sustainability and industrial competitiveness intersect.

Circular materials and product designRecycling and recovery technologiesIndustrial symbiosis and by-product utilisationCircular manufacturing and process optimisationCircular business models and value chainsMeasurement, data and circularity assessment​

Circular materials and product design

Design approaches and material innovations that enable durability, reparability, reuse and recyclability, supporting longer product lifecycles and reduced resource consumption.

Recycling and recovery technologies

Technologies that enable efficient collection, separation, processing and recovery of materials from waste streams, including mechanical, chemical and advanced recycling solutions.

Industrial symbiosis and by-product utilisation

Solutions that enable waste, side streams and by-products from one process or industry to be used as inputs in another, improving overall system efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Circular manufacturing and process optimisation

Innovations that reduce material use, energy consumption and waste in industrial processes through digitalisation, automation and advanced process control.

Circular business models and value chains

New business models such as product-as-a-service, sharing, remanufacturing and take-back schemes that enable value creation in circular systems.

Measurement, data and circularity assessment​

Tools and methods for measuring circular performance, environmental impact and lifecycle benefits, supporting decision-making, reporting and compliance.
