Centre for Digitisation in the Stuttgart Region (ZD.BB) is lead partner of the Danube Region project with 16 international partners
On Wednesday, 10 April, 2024 the kick-off event for the European project DECIDE (“Digital Services for the Circular Economy”) took place at the Centre for Digitisation in the Stuttgart Region (ZD.BB). The Danube region project with 16 international partners from ten countries ( Alma Mons, Serbia) along the Danube is intended to help make the European economy greener and more digital by mid-2026. To this end, DECIDE aims to provide small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups and business developers in the Danube Region with methods and tools for developing successful business models for the circular economy. These models are crucial for achieving the goals of the European Green Deal by making sustainable products the norm, finding ways to transform resource-intensive sectors and making the circular economy usable in practice. “Our goal with the DECIDE project is to unite the two seemingly opposing poles of ecology and economy in promising business models,” said ZD.BB Managing Director Dr. Claus Hoffmann, explaining his team’s motivation during the welcome speech.
