ENDURANCE is an Erasmus+ project focusing on developing a methodology promoting the transition towards a clean, circular and climate neutral economy in the EU which is applicable to EU clusters. The aim is to integrate green growth, eco-innovation and European Green Deal strategies and scenarios in SMEs and startups. This in turn will support the transition by channeling through clusters the knowledge that will facilitate the sustainable reconversion of Europe's industrial fabric.

ENDURANCE is organising a half-day event dedicated to accelerating sustainable growth, eco-innovation and resilience for SMEs and startups. It will offer practical tools, proven methodologies and real-world insights to support innovation ecosystems and foster climate action. Whether you are a cluster manager, entrepreneur or policymaker, you’ll gain actionable strategies to strengthen your role in the green transition.
