The region has stood out for its strong involvement in the programme, leading eight transnational projects and participating in a total of thirteen initiatives, mobilising more than \u20ac7 million in investment in projects linked to the circular economy.<\/p>\n
The call attracted significant interest across Europe, with 21 proposals submitted by 117 organisations from regions such as Scotland, the Netherlands, France and Sweden, further consolidating Navarre\u2019s role as a strategic hub within international innovation networks.<\/p>\n
The projects led by Navarre address key areas in the transition towards more sustainable production models, including the development of advanced biomaterials, the valorisation of agri-food by-products, improvements in water treatment and resource optimisation through industrial symbiosis.<\/p>\n
This leadership is underpinned by a strong and diverse ecosystem, bringing together companies, SMEs, research centres and public entities, and demonstrating Navarre\u2019s capacity to generate high value-added projects in collaboration with European partners.<\/p>\n
Navarre\u2019s position in initiatives such as ECIV further enhances its attractiveness as a destination for investment in sustainability, circular economy and industrial innovation, in line with the European Union\u2019s strategic priorities.<\/p>\n
