Circular by design Challenge: submit your circular project by January 20th!

The Circular by Design Challenge offers Luxembourg and European companies and entrepreneurs the opportunity to develop their innovative, sustainable solutions through a 12-week coaching programme. Participants will be connected with an excellent network of partners looking to find sustainable solutions to thematic challenges.

3. LuXembourg Collection 
4. Development cooperation and humanitarian aid 

For the thematic call 4, note that LuxAid is calling organisations to submit their circular project ideas in an aim of implementing innovative and sustainable solutions responding to development cooperation and humanitarian aid issues, and thereby contributing toward achieving the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
