On January 30, CCDR-A and ACPMR brought together a group of companies and stakeholders to participate in the “Roadshow 2025: How to unlock the potential of the regional extractive industry”, and discuss new approaches related to the digitalization, automation and decarbonization of the regional industry, within the scope of the INTERREG European Mining Regions Innovation Ecosystems supporting the Circularity and Resource Eciency (EMRIE) Project, at the CCDR-A headquarters in Évora.
The CCDR-A began the opening of the session, followed by words from the companies Almina and Geosense, who presented good practices, ending with the discussion of the themes “Unlocking Regional Potential: Digitalization and Sustainability in the Extractive Industry” and “Innovation and Sustainability: Paths to Digitalization and Decarbonization in the Regional Industry”.
Led by CCDR-A, the project addresses the issue of responsible resource management, which is aligned with the circular economy and resource-efficient economy.
By improving resource use, promoting circular economy principles and developing efficient land use plans and policies, regions can reduce dependence on imports, strengthening economic resilience and stability. Furthermore, optimizing planning and transforming mining waste into valuable resources contributes to environmental sustainability and mitigates the negative impacts of mining.
EMRIE will strengthen regional policy instruments through its collaborative efforts to advance the transition to a greener economy.
The Consortium is composed of entities from Portugal, Spain, Finland, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine and Greece.
Follow the project’s news and participate in the Roadshows, dedicated to different themes.
