Up2Circ is an international project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe programme. The overall aim is to help European SMEs go circular.
The project assists SMEs: there are awareness-raising and training modules and information on how to apply for EU funding. The platform has prepared a catalogue of its success stories.
The platform is also building a network of stakeholders: people with access to many SMEs, expertise in a given sector and/or the circular economy, advanced technologies or social innovation. These people will have access to Up2Circ's tools for helping SMEs.
The website also has information on circular events. The project organisers have experience with assisting SMEs; with this project they are focusing on the circular dimension.
The report presents the progress the Commission has made in implementing the 2022 strategy for the outermost regions. It shows that the Commission has delivered on its commitment to reflect the outermost regions’ characteristics in legislative proposals, policy initiatives and programmes.
The outermost regions have high potential to develop circular economy solutions. Cohesion policy supports circular economy development there. Both the ERDF and Interreg support waste management and recycling, for instance in Réunion with EUR 18 million of ERDF funding dedicated to the circular economy. Outermost regions also benefit from support under the LIFE programme. Several of these regions have designed circular strategies, such as the Circular Economy Conference of the Azores.
