Circular Innovation Hub -CI-HUB
January 01, 2024 - June 30, 2024
: Circular Innovation Hub-CI-HUB
Project name: Circular Innovation Hub
Project acronym: CI-HUB
Project is supported by the Interreg Danube Region Programme, co-funded by the EU.
To the specific objective: 1.1 Enhancing innovation and technology transfer in Danube region
Project will provide real-life testing environment for innovative approaches with developed user-centered ,open innovation system, Integrating relevant quadruple helix stakeholders from partner ecosystems help to uptake circular technologies in less developed partner regions and accelerate cross-border marketability and technology uptake.
Project budget: 2.351.006,74
Interreg funding: 1.880.805,39
Project duration: 30 months / January 2024 – June 2026
Project partners: 23 institutions (13 PP+10 ASP)
Lead partner : Pomurje Technology Park
About the project:
The overall project objective is improving innovation potential in LESS INNOVATIVE REGIONS and to a significant extend non-urban INDUSTRIAL REGIONS IN TRANSITION with a low innovation performance and weak innovation infrastructure.
CI-HUB main outputs and results will be:
Establishment of JOINT TRANSNATIONAL CIRCULAR TRANSITION ACCELERATOR SUPPORT SERVICES based on CIRCULAR USER EXPERIENCE MODEL combined with industry 4.0 novel technologies that supports circular transition in 2 most challenging circular supply chains:
(1)plastic & metal processing sector
(2) construction sector,
which are both RIS3 very important in less developed areas and where both will be tested by involved partners. That type of accelerator program doesn’t exist yet in EU and will be the first focused program on transnational level.
ICT Cluster is a proud partner in the consortium with a contribution to project activities.
