Final conference for GreenXpo set to take place in Jyväskylä
The GreenXpo project, which aimed to enhance uptake of eco-innovations in Europe, is nearing its end. A final conference is set to take place from 22-24 April in the City of Jyväskylä (Finland). Jyväskylä, which is located in central Finland and is a well-known university city, strives to be a forerunner in the development of sustainable resources in the country.
The first day of the conference, titled “Efficient Interfaces in Eco-Innovation”, will include presentations on Finland’s Bioeconomy strategy from Jussi Manninen of the Finnish Ministry of Employment and the Economy, as well as on the Circular Economy from Mari Pantsar Kallio of Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund. Additionally, GreenXpo partners will present the findings of the project, many of which are documented in the form of case studies on the projects’ InnovationSeeds website.
The second day will include presentations from Giulio Pattanaro of DG Research & Innovation on eco-innovation in Europe, and Pirkko Korhonen of the City of Jyväskylä will present the history and future of resource wisdom in the city. On the final day of the conference, participants are invited to take part in field visits to local eco-innovative companies. Registration is now open.
