The European Alliance for Advancing Circular Economy via Industrial Digital Symbiosis

ongoing

The transition towards a circular economy is a cornerstone of sustainable development in Europe, as stated in the European Green Deal. The SymbioTech project aligns with this vision by focusing on the integration of digital technologies in Industrial Symbiosis (IS). This innovative approach leverages technological advancements to facilitate efficient resource use, waste reduction, and sustainable industrial practices, contributing significantly to the European Union’s sustainability and climate goals. SymbioTech focuses on advancing the circular economy through the innovative Digital Industrial Symbiosis paradigm, aiming to foster sustainable growth by integrating innovative training programs, AI solutions and innovative digital tools for knowledge exchange and industrial symbiosis practices. The project emphasizes collaboration among European SMEs, educational institutions, and key stakeholders to enhance skills and opportunities in the green economy, by leveraging cutting-edge technologies. The initiative will develop microtraining modules and organize live training events to promote green entrepreneurship and labour market opportunities for the SymbioTech Managers, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer learning and real-world case studies. The expected outcomes include improved resource efficiency, reduced environmental impact, and a boost in economic growth by fostering innovation and collaboration in the green sector.
