Demonstrators

APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED

Approach: 

This Demonstrator Call provides the opportunity to prove innovative concepts working in practice through prototypes, pilots, or proof-of-concept demonstrations that promote the adoption of a digitally enabled circular economy.  

We expect demonstrators to build upon prior research work or equivalent proof of concept, creating tangible, working illustrations of potential real-world applications and wider adoption. These demonstrators should move beyond theoretical feasibility to practical implementation, providing evidence of scalability and replication potential across sectors or contexts.
