On 27–28 August 2025, the Greene 4.0 consortium convened for its 6th project meeting in Bautzen, Germany, kindly hosted by the Bautzen Innovation Centre. This milestone gathering brought together partners from seven European regions, creating a dynamic forum for knowledge exchange, strategic alignment, and collective progress towards the project’s final implementation phase.
The meeting was designed not only as a coordination platform but also as a space for reflection and innovation. By combining regional perspectives with a shared vision, partners reaffirmed their commitment to fostering a sustainable transition across European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Key Highlights of the Meeting
Throughout the two days, participants:
-
Explored the latest version of the B2GreenHub platform, a digital environment designed to connect businesses, researchers, and stakeholders in pursuit of green and circular innovation.
-
Discussed tailored support measures for companies engaged in the Greene Innovation Contest, focusing both on ongoing pilot programmes and the creation of new value chains.
-
Refined communication and dissemination strategies, with the aim of ensuring that potential users, companies, and stakeholders can fully benefit from the project’s outcomes.
The meeting in Bautzen demonstrated the collaborative spirit at the heart of Greene 4.0. By sharing regional best practices and aligning on joint priorities, partners strengthened their collective ability to deliver meaningful impact in the final phase of the project.
A warm word of appreciation goes to all consortium members for their active engagement, and especially to the Bautzen Innovation Centre for their generous hospitality.
As Greene 4.0 enters its concluding phase, the consortium will continue to work closely with companies, clusters, and innovation ecosystems to ensure lasting results. Further updates from the Greene 4.0 community will follow soon – stay tuned.
