Navarra has been selected to lead the European
strategy of “regional innovation valleys” in circular economy,
representing an international recognition of its commitment to sustainability
and innovation. The European Circular Innovation Valley (ECIV) project, with a
total funding of over 27 million euros, of which 6,428,500 euros are allocated
to Navarra, seeks to transform EU value chains towards more circular practices.
Coordinated by Navarra through its Industry and External Action departments,
the ECIV consortium focuses on joining efforts of nine territories from
