Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

  • EUStrategyDanubeRegion GREEN 4.0 is contributing to achieving the objectives of the following EUSDR policy actions: PA1B sustainable energy, PA5 environmental risks, PA7 knowledge society, and PA8 competitiveness of enterprises
  • GREEN 4.0 will generate and deploy an interactive digital toolkit composed of open innovation maps, open innovation tools and private equity investment readiness tool, integrated as dedicated section in PRO.Net platform which will allow companies to use this toolkit for open business modelling, Industry 4.0 product development process stages, solutions development, experimentation, and investment readiness in terms of private equity injections. Therefore, project actions are supporting the development and adoption of innovative smart and green technologies for 7 pre-defined sectorial clusters. GREENE 4.0 Innovation Platform which integrates existing digital services and new product development, investment readiness and open innovation tools developed under the project providing open co-creation capabilities to generate, test and pilot smart and green manufacturing new value chains models in 7 pre-defined sectorial clusters between manufacturing companies and solution providers. GREENE 4.0 develops, and pilots 2 smart and green manufacturing new value chains based on supply-demand co-creation approach in prototyping, business modelling, product development processes applied through innovation programs under Transnational Digital Transformation Sites in 7 pre-defined sectorial manufacturing clusters. GREEN 4.0 is linking and engaging big and SMEs manufacturing companies (solution seekers) with IT and green tech SME’s (solutions developers), and with private equity investors in joint co-creation processes by developing and applying open knowledge, open innovation toolkits and private equity investment readiness tool within innovation programs methodology, thus leading to the generation of 2 smart and green manufacturing new value chains models.
  • EuropeanGreenDeal GREEN 4.0 is contributing to achieving the objectives of the following Green Deal policy areas: clean energy, sustainable industry, eliminating pollution and sustainable finance.

Through its Policy Learning Center ouputs, GREEN 4.0 is promoting a balanced and harmonious territorial development between and within countries, regions, cities and municipalities, as well as ensuring a future for all places and people in Europe. Project is setting up a Policy Learning Centre for improving CE regions ecosystem capacity to learn, transfer and replicate GREEN 4.0 innovation platform with its entire capabilities and tools by designing new policy instruments supporting sustainable manufacturing new value chains. Policy Center will design a policy strategy for deploying GREENE 4.0 innovation platform in project regions, for transferring and capitalizing the platform capabilities to support development of smart and green products able to generate new value chains between manufacturing supply-demand side in 7 pre-defined sectorial clusters. Strategy will be correlated with EUSDR 2021-2027, EU Green Deal, Territorial Agenda 2030 and with EU Digital Agenda, and will have as founding based all project key outputs. Also, Policy Center will develop Regional Actions Plans for putting into practice the transnational strategy vision and framework for learning, transferring and replicating GREEN 4.0 innovation platform with its entire capabilities, services and tools.
