The SMART CIRCUIT Task Forces were established as thematic collaboration platforms to drive circular and digital innovation across key industrial sectors. A total of four Task Forces were created, focusing on construction, textiles, electronics, and cross-sectoral solutions.
By bringing together Digital Innovation Hubs, research organisations, and industry stakeholders, the Task Forces enabled structured collaboration, co-creation, and joint service development.
Key Achievements
Through transnational meetings and co-creation activities, the Task Forces:
- Identified sector-specific challenges
- Shared best practices
- Developed tailored service portfolios for SMEs
- Integrated digital technologies with circular economy principles
This approach ensured that developed solutions were both innovative and applicable in real industrial environments.
