Framework

A key factor in driving economic growth and regional competitiveness is innovation and productive specialization. The cross-border cooperation area of the Galicia and Northern Portugal Euroregion has progressively increased its capacity to generate knowledge and innovation, but remains far from the EU average.

In this context, the GreenHUB project aims to contribute to overcoming the challenges of this Euroregion by leveraging the potential of cooperation to consolidate the innovation, scientific, and technological ecosystem, fostering the creation of knowledge and business networks that improve corporate competitiveness.

The project aims to establish a Center of Excellence in Circular Economy for the use and valorization of natural, industrial, and post-consumer resources and waste, in the production of new, more sustainable, value-added materials and products in the Euroregion of Galicia and Northern Portugal.

The project aims to foster scientific and innovation excellence in the Euro-Region, in the field of the circular economy

Innovation ecosystem creation

involving different stakeholders from the Euroregion (R&D centers, associations, companies, universities) directly or indirectly linked to the circular economy, fostering cooperation to promote joint R&D and innovation activities

Consolidation of critical mass in I&D+i

existing in the Euro-Region, through strengthening the skills of its human resources, either through training or the promotion of joint projects

Common infrastructure consolidation

capable of promoting excellent research and innovation that meets the needs of the Euroregion’s business sector

Research and development promotion

in the field of advanced materials and ensuring their transfer to the market

Scientific production increase

which will materialize in new technologies for the transformation and recycling of materials, new products for strategic sectors of the Euro-Region, as well as in scientific articles and in the increase of patent registration
