INNOMED-UP Project involves several countries including Italy, Greece, Tunisia, Palestine and Jordan and here in Palermo and Bizerta, Tunisia, it promoted the opening of an info point entirely dedicated to consultancy for all those Cultural & Creative Industries SMEs, linked to the world of creativity and craftsmanship, that want to access European funding, bank loans and obtain information on the various legislations: regional, national and European, and on everything related to the Circular Economy.

This is a key opportunity for companies that want to pursue their business while giving special attention to environmental sustainability.

The adoption of Circular Economy procedures within the Cultural & Creative Industries will certainly improve waste management thanks to technology and the transfer of innovative knowledge, thus transforming Mediterranean cities into more resilient territories. The implementation of these procedures should promote employment contracts of scientific experts and technical staff. The entities that will access to the INNOMED-UP Info Point will benefit from cluster opportunities and innovation vouchers in order to get equipment and mentoring in their development.
