The „Advanced Materials for a Sustainable European Future” (MAT4EU) project aims to build a cohesive, collaborative Advanced Materials ecosystem across Europe by leveraging the strengths of multiple regional clusters and existing networks and initiatives.
MAT4EU will identify key players, challenges, and priorities within the ecosystem that align with the EU’s advanced materials priorities. It will structure the ecosystem by facilitating networking, cluster-peer learning, and matchmaking events.
By providing financial, internationalisation, networking and training support, the project will help SMEs develop innovative Advanced Materials solutions, enhance the sustainability and circularity of their value chain, and adopt cutting-edge digital technologies. Ultimately, this initiative will foster investment by SMEs and the resilience and competitiveness of European SMEs in the global market.
MAT4EU is coordinated by POLYMERIS (France) and brings together six partners from different countries, combining the strength of leading European clusters:
- – – Advanced Materials Cluster of Catalonia (Spain)
- – – Bydgoszcz Industrial Cluster Tool Valley (Poland)
- – – LINPRA – Lithuanian Plastics Cluster (Lithuania)
- – – Plast Center Danmark (Denmark)
- – – RKW Sachsen (Germany)
