Påskynda övergången till cirkulär ekonomi i Västsverige

This grant opportunity from Tillväxtverket (Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth) aims to accelerate the transition to a circular economy in Western Sweden. The program seeks to support projects and feasibility studies that help small and medium-sized enterprises in Västra Götaland and Halland counties become more integrated into the circular economy. Projects should create capacities for developing innovation environments and test beds for circular solutions, developing and implementing new circular business models focused on sharing, repair and reuse, improving design processes for circular products and services, testing new technologies through digitalization, identifying new markets for residual flows, increasing collaboration between SMEs and the public sector on procurement tools, and facilitating smart choices through new support structures for sustainability. The initiative is part of the Regional Fund for Western Sweden under goal 2.6 to promote circular economy and must align with regional development strategies and Agenda 2030 goals.
