RE-INCITE 
Clusters enable municipalities to collaboratively build circular economy value chains.
Home
Outcomes

Overview

Most Alpine regions have set up circular economy (CE) strategies but struggle to implement them. Turning industrial waste streams into secondary material for other industries is key to implementing CE. It reduces CO2 footprint and dependencies from raw material sources. Regional administrations need expert knowledge to incite the optimal regional development processes and funding schemes. RE-INCITE tackles the challenge of establishing and implementing CE in the Alpine region. The project aims to create a new cross-sectorial and cross-border governance nucleus that might serve as a new role model connecting clusters and municipalities. It helps regional public authorities to implement (macro)-regional CE strategies.

    Outcomes

    • Pilot specific strategy is defined for the 4 pilots

      The strategic Circular Value Chain Report provides analysis, findings, possible alignments of all 4 municipalities and definition of pilot cases.

    • 4 Networking events conducted

      Relationships between municipalities and clusters across policy and governance-levels should be strengthened and built. 4 networking events, virtually or in presence, need to be conducted. We want to make sure to invite the right target groups, which include stakeholders from the broader portion of the Alpine Space area (incl. FR, CH, LI). We will reach them through offering virtual or hybrid solutions. A target group matrix will be defined. The events will be preferably held in English.

    • Place-based strategy towards resilient circular supply chains has been agreed upon in all 4 municipalities

      The place-based strategy towards resilient circular supply chains has been agreed upon in all 4 municipalities. This means that not only has the strategy been developed jointly, but concrete actions have been set and been agreed upon by the municipalities with the clusters.

    • Learnings & policy recommendations have been presented to the EUSALP authority

      Learnings and policy recommendations have been presented to the EUSALP relevant Action Groups, jointly defined at the beginning of the project with the Project Officer. The learnings & policy recommendations will be sent to each Action Group 1,2,9 via e-mail. In addition we want to offer a virtual meeting per Action Group to present it and answer any questions that might occur.
