Arena for Green Growth

The overall goal of the project is to achieve a more low-carbon economy by working structured with innovation support efforts. The project will therefore build up the collaboration platform ¿Arena for Green Growth¿. The goal is to strengthen collaboration between SMEs, universities/universities and the public sector, and to develop the ability to commercialise new products, services and solutions that contribute to a more low-carbon economy. The partners will create meeting places for the exchange of knowledge and experiences. Three pilot projects will be carried out, with the theme of food, bioenergy and forest industry. They include seminars, study visits and workshops to support the business community to develop innovations and disseminate knowledge about how companies can work low-carbon. The regional business sector participates through, among other things, the Energy and Environment Centre and the Householding Society. Stora Enso and Signerat Halland are two large companies that are co-financing and participating in the project.
