TITLE:
ADDCIRCLES - Promoting Sustainable Regional Development through Additive Manufacturing: A Cross-Border Initiative for a Resilient and Circular Economy
DESCRIPTION:
The European Green Deal has the vision of Europe becoming a climate-neutral continent by 2050. For industry and SMEs in the programme region, this is both a threat (technological change too slow) and an opportunity (new business opportunities). We see Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology as an opportunity to respond advantageously in this situation. The main objective of ADDCIRCLES is to empower regional companies and networks for AM. The technology is perfectly suited to the region's business landscape, enabling the production of high value-added products through the development of sustainable solutions. As such, ADDCIRCLES will stimulate the region to transition to a resilient and circular economy. ADDCIRCLES aims to drive the implementation of AM in a way that improves resource efficiency in manufacturing and promotes recycling and the use of natural materials. The objective will be achieved by building a cooperation network of different transboundary value chains, as well as through two pilot projects on knowledge transfer at different stakeholder levels.
