CIRCULAR BRIDGE: Cross‑Border Pathways for Circular SME Growth

Circular Bridge is a cross-border project that explores how manufacturing SMEs in Finland and Sweden can strengthen their competitiveness through circular and sustainable business development. The project will conduct interviews with SMEs on both sides of the border to identify challenges, opportunities, and knowledge gaps related to circular business models and servitization.

Based on the findings, the project partners will jointly analyse the results and develop a cross-border roadmap for circular servitization. The roadmap will provide practical guidance for business support organisations, clusters, industry associations, and SMEs seeking to integrate circular economy principles and service-based business approaches into their operations.

The project will also facilitate knowledge exchange between Finnish and Swedish stakeholders through joint workshops and collaboration activities. The results will be disseminated through an open webinar and targeted outreach activities, creating a foundation for future cross-border cooperation and supporting the transition towards more sustainable and resilient business practices in the Aurora region.
