RIV Circular Funding Call
We are looking for innovative circular economy projects!
The “RIVCircular” project, co-funded under “Horizon Europe”, connects innovation ecosystems in 8 European regions across 4 EU Member States – Spain (Madrid, Extremadura), France (Hauts-de-France), Greece and Austria (Vienna) – as well as in two countries associated with “Horizon Europe”, Norway (Innlandet) and Ukraine (Kyiv), to advance the circular economy.
As a partner in the European RIV Circular Economy consortium, the Vienna Business Agency, in collaboration with the European Union, is making €600,000 available through a call for proposals for innovative Viennese projects in the field of the circular economy. Eligible projects include initiatives by Viennese companies in the fields of circular construction, circular industry and energy, as well as digital solutions.
Submitted project proposals should focus on the development and/or application of innovative technologies and solutions for the circular economy. This requires the cooperation of at least three partners from the regions mentioned.
