The event will bring together the key results and experiences developed throughout the project, with a particular focus on industrial symbiosis, cooperation between craft and manufacturing sectors, and new opportunities for turning industrial waste and by-products into valuable resources.

Participants will also hear directly from companies involved in the project. One of the highlights will be the RE-BOAT experience, presented by Tecnica Group, showing how recycled ski-boot fibre can open new opportunities for industrial symbiosis and blue-economy applications.

The morning programme will connect SYMCRAFT with the results and opportunities of the ECCENTRIC and RECONNECT projects, including an Open Call for SMEs and artisans and a live demonstration of an AI Matchmaking Tool.
