FUNDING FOR ECO-INNOVATION PROJECTS

The European Commission has launched a ?35 million call for eco-
innovation projects to be funded under the Competitiveness and
Innovation Programme (CIP). Funding is available for projects in the
area of materials recycling, sustainable building products, the food
and drink sector, and green business practices. Priority will be given
to applications from small businesses with green products or services
that need backing to penetrate markets. In addition clusters of
applicants and projects which demonstrate a European added value and
have a high potential for market replication are strongly encouraged.
Previous projects supported in the past have ranged from recycling
tannery and leather waste to produce green fertilizers to using bamboo
to clean up waste water. The deadline for application is the 9th
September 2010.
