“Knowing your friends and value chain partners and their landscape will be increasingly important against the backdrop of rebalancing of trade relations and a more fragmented and less predictable trade context”

We zijn ongelooflijk trots op onze samenwerking met het Enterprise Europe Network Nederland en VLAANDEREN EEN als onderdeel van het CLOSER-project! Om de Europese keten voor zo circulair mogelijke halfgeleiders op te zetten en te sluiten, hebben we 32 partners uit verschillende sectoren verenigd. EEN heeft daar een belangrijke bijdrage in geleverd. Met een subsidie van €14 miljoen zet het CLOSER-project een baanbrekende waardeketen op die elektronisch afval omzet in hoogwaardige halfgeleiders. Dit brengt ons dichter bij zelfvoorziening in de productie van chips en maximaliseert de herbruikbaarheid van grondstoffen. “Dit project bewijst dat circulariteit kan gedijen, zelfs in complexe waardeketens, en helpt Europa haar afhankelijkheid van externe bronnen te verminderen.” Luca Polidori, Holland Circular Hotspot, Programma Manager voor CLOSER. Netherlands Enterprise Agency publiceerde een mooi praktijkverhaal over de support van EEN hierbij.
