Today, June 19th, at the Global Stone Congress 2025, ACPMR presented the RISE I3 project, highlighting its role as a promoter of interregional circular solutions in the raw materials, construction and advanced manufacturing sectors.
The seminar, part of the congress’s official program, gave an insight into how RISE – funded by the European Union through the I3 Instrument – is supporting less developed and transition regions in the valorization of sustainable innovation.
The main topics covered included:
🔹 Strategies to overcome the “Valley of Death” of circular innovations
🔹 How to create effective interregional investment pipelines
🔹 The role of Smart Specialization Strategies (S3)
🔹 New opportunities for collaboration to accelerate the green and digital transition
The session ended with a collaborative brainstorming, bringing together participants from various regions to co-create ideas aligned with the objectives of the European Green Deal.
A moment of sharing, commitment and vision for the future of the circular economy in Europe!
