InvestCEC
The InvestCEC project aims to increase investor confidence in circular economy projects and boost regional adoption of circular solutions. The goal is to develop a replicable model for the implementation of such projects in cities and regions across Europe by bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, and policy makers. The model’s viability will be developed and tested in the Austrian city of Klagenfurt.
