Focus topic for 2025: GreenTech – Circular Economy

This year's roadshow is dedicated to digital GreenTech solutions with a focus on the circular economy. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) has launched the ‘GreenTech Innovation Competition’ to combine digital technologies with ecological and economic goals. The programme is funding a total of 21 projects with around 75 million euros over three years. Six of these projects will be presented at the roadshow.

Prognos and its partners are providing scientific support for the programme, promoting networking between the projects and supporting knowledge transfer to industry and the public.

Michelle Reuter from Prognos will represent the accompanying research during the international roadshow and, as a member of the delegation, will present the GreenTech funding initiative, provide insights into the current GreenTech Atlas 2025 and give an overview of the six selected projects. She will also participate in the networking sessions on site.

Programme highlight: Delegation projects

The delegation includes high-ranking participants from six selected and mature applied research projects representing consortia of research institutions and industrial companies.
