Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in the economy, and their adoption of sustainable practices can have a profound impact on environmental, social, and economic outcomes.
In today's era of rapid technological advancement, gadgets and high-tech products have undoubtedly made our lives easier.
The first result of the CEMforSMEs project is finally out, the “Summary Needs Analysis Report on Circular Economy”, which provides a comprehensive view on the current situation and the needs of the Small and Medium Enterprises of the Agrifood sector in terms of management of Circular Economy in their companies.
In the last months, we worked extensively within the CEMforSMEs project to develop a joint view on the profile and curriculum that an efficient Circular Economy Manager should have, especially when active in SMEs from the agrifood sector, with a specific focus on the countries involved in our project: Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
