About us
Industrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) fosters cooperation between municipalities, regions, and industries for managing resources, waste, energy, water, and infrastructures. The FOAK Theseus project will establish a Hubs4Circularity (H4C) model in Athens/Attica, Greece, covering 68 municipalities and 3.7 million inhabitants, as a pilot for national expansion to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Theseus will validate technologies for water, energy, and materials (IPs 2, 3), integrate digital/robotic solutions (IP4), and implement innovative governance and cooperation models (IPs 1, 5) to upscale solutions and expand ecosystems. Aligning with Processes4Planet (P4P) and CCRI strategies, it leverages existing innovations for circular economy solutions. By targeting water, energy, and material flows with high European replication potential, Theseus provides a systemic approach to close resource loops. Inspired by the mythological reformer, Theseus aims to drive regional transformation while offering scalable solutions for EU regions. Theseus has received funding by the European Union under Grant Agreement No 101178059

🌟 Theseus: From Myth to Innovation The Theseus Hub4Circularity takes inspiration from the legendary Greek hero #Theseus, bridging mythology with modern innovation. Just as Theseus united Athens and overcame monumental challenges, this ambitious project is uniting municipalities, industries, and stakeholders to transform the Athens/Attica region into a model for sustainability and circular economy practices. 📜 The Mythical Legacy: In Greek mythology, Theseus is renowned for his wisdom, courage, and leadership. He united Athens, established groundbreaking reforms, and defeated the Minotaur—navigating the complex Labyrinth with a clever strategy and teamwork. ♻️ The Modern Vision: The Theseus-H4C project reflects this legacy by creating Greece’s first Hub for Circularity (H4C), pioneering Industrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US). Through collaboration, digital innovation, and sustainable solutions, the project aims to: 💠 Manage resources, waste, energy, water, and infrastructure in a sustainable manner. 💠 Close resource loops for water, energy, and materials. 💠 Achieve climate neutrality by 2050. 💠 Scale its impact across Europe, much like the unifying reforms of the mythical Theseus. Blending timeless wisdom with modern innovation, the Theseus-H4C project aspires to redefine Greece’s future, proving that innovation and transformation are ever important. 🌍✨ #TheseusHub #CircularEconomy #Innovation #Sustainability #Greece #HorizonEurope
