About Cluster4Green

Cluster 4 Green is a project funded by the European Union under the under the Eni CBC MED Program to support and encourage the creation of economic opportunities through the promotion and development of the Mediterranean Circular Economy.

The objective of this program is to support MSMEs in adopting Circular Economy innovation processes and in establishing national and international consolidated collaboration agreements including the building of Public-Private Partnerships.

CLUSTER4GREEN’s ambition in terms of impact is of the outmost importance, neither more nor less than addressing one of the biggest challenges of the Mediterranean area: create new economic opportunities that translate into the most precious good, jobs. Through this goal, the project is well armed to contribute to it. The green “weapon” that the project will use to generate growth is the activation of actual and practical Public-Private Partnerships that will trigger effective green entrepreneurships based on circular economy sound business models. By raising the capacities of entrepreneurs to sustainably go greener and the capacities of the public and private authorities to frame and fund greener, the Mediterranean ecosystem will be more ready than ever to generate green businesses and green jobs.

Throughout this project, Berytech will be facilitating:

  • The setup of a big network of MSMES working all on Circular Economy.
  • The creation of an adequate Green Business Environment among the stakeholders.
  • The creation of synergies between SMEs, MSMES, policy makers, investors and other stakeholders.
  • Networking, training activities and collaborations to provide the right environment for the development of Circular Economy.
