C-Voucher (Circularize Value Chains across European Regional Innovation Strategies), an initiative funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme, has launched its 2nd Open Call for Adopters. The initiative offers an opportunity for 24 SMEs in the manufacturing, textile, agri-food, health and blue growth sectors to transition towards a circular business model.

To apply, you must submit a business proposal that incorporates one of the solutions proposed by the SMEs that won the previous call (available at this link), or propose a model that aligns with the macro-themes identified by C-Voucher. Selected SMEs will receive a €15,000 grant to cover the costs of participating in the Circularity Value Replication Programme of C-VoUCHER. Specifically, the programme lasts for one month and includes support from an expert industrial designer to prepare a business case and a roadmap for implementing your circular economy solution, as well as mentoring sessions to facilitate access to further funding.

The call will remain open until 17:00 (CET) on 30/10/2020 and proposals can be submitted via the dedicated portal.

Further information is available in the attachment at the bottom of this news item and on the dedicated website.
