The DECISO project has successfully developed four pilot initiatives across Europe, focusing on innovative circular economy solutions in various sectors: the Pop-Up Circular Hub in Hamburg, the Circular Agrifood Ecosystem in Alentejo, the DISCO Project for digital water management in Northwest Germany, and biomass utilization for energy in Western Macedonia. As the project moves toward its exploitation phase, this workshop aims to facilitate knowledge transfer and establish formal collaboration frameworks with potential replicators.
