On 1^st January 2023, the Horizon Europe-funded project Convert2Green was launched. The project aims to set-up an open innovation network to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the development of circular and eco-friendly material solutions for key European markets. These markets include clean and smart vehicles, smart and sustainable textiles, smart health, clean energy solutions, agriculture, flexible electronics, and industrial Internet of Things. 17 Partners from 10 European countries have joined forces to accelerate the market entry of novel, sustainable materials and therefore reduce carbon emission in these sectors by up to 30%. To achieve this, the project combines a unique set of technical facilities for material processing, upscaling, and testing, with distinct services for life-cycle assessment, business development, value chain formation, and intellectual property management.
