ArticlesResearch and Development Funding: IT services to help municipalities transition towards Circular Economy
European cities, regional and national organisations have to transition towards Circular Economy. Only 10% of the cities have advanced on circular transition, as it is particularly complex. Municipalities and local businesses across Europe are facing four interlinked challenges. Cities and the local economy require support to operationalise the growing body of CE knowledge. The CircularPSP project and consortium believes that curated Artificial Intelligence using NLP and taxonomies within a platform solution is able to support ten thousand of European municipal staff and by extension local businesses. Upcoming news items will describe the challenges in more detail.
