Shall we talk about Eco-innovation?

Supporting businesses in their development and incorporating environmental issues is the crossover objective of the Communauté Pays Basque and its Technopole Pays Basque technology park. In view of this, alongside its first Call for Eco-innovation projects, aimed at supporting local SMEs and VSEs wishing to commit to the ecological transition, the Communauté Pays Basque is initiating a programme to raise the awareness of industrial businesses in respect of eco-design.

The objective is to offer a personalised training programme in eco-innovation/eco-design.

Six training sessions

Any industrial business wishing to sign up to an eco-innovation approach may take part for no charge in a training cycle delivered by Think+ in 6 3-hour sessions held at Crealuz:

The Think + agency in brief. The Think+ agency helps businesses to eco-innovate and more specifically to design products and services with high added value by incorporating environmental, social and economic issues as a vector of opportunity and differentiation. In order to do this, it encourages and supports businesses in all sectors to adopt responsible business development and innovation practices.

Did you know? Directly in line with its Economic Development Plan and the Territoire d’Industrie (Region of Industry) programme, the Communauté Pays Basque continues to support its SMEs and VSEs by giving them the means to aim for eco-design and to reduce their energy consumption. This includes the first call for eco-innovation projects to the value of € 50,000. The winners will be announced shortly, and there will be a second round in 2022.
