Project summary and objectives


BOOST-IN is dedicated to implementing a successful strategy to promote technological changes, governance schemes, shifts in mindset and organizational structures the water sector needs to become circular. The project will help the transition from a wasteful, linear way of handling water to a circular economy. This means seeing water not just as something to use and discard, but as a precious resource that can be reused, recycled, and valued in many ways, from powering our homes to growing our food.


At the heart of BOOST-IN are six selected Regions of Opportunities, which serve as living laboratories to pilot and co-develop systemic solutions, test transition pathways and demonstrate the impact of place-based innovation strategies. These regions act as models for replication, contributing critical insights and evidence for EU-wide policy recommendations and interregional cooperation.


Main Objectives:


  • Transfer innovative Water Circular Economy Solutions

  • Close water cycles effectively

  • Reuse water resources

  • Support entrepreneurship in the water sector

  • Advocate policy changes to facilitate circular economy practices

 

Expected Results:


  • Enhance of industrial symbiosis participation

  • Improving SME compliance with sustainability standards

  • Fostering innovation and technology development

  • Adoption of a sustainability ecosystem:

  • Strengthening business collaboration networks

  • Enhancing knowledge and skills
