Resource efficiency consulting
In order to increase competitiveness, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the EU are also promoting advice on resource-efficient and circular business practices for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The "Resource Efficiency Consulting" funding program is intended to support the commercial sector and the skilled trades in increasing resource efficiency and transforming into a circular economy. This enables companies to improve their competitive position. North Rhine-Westphalia can establish itself as a location for environmentally friendly, resource-efficient production methods and sustainable business practices.
Funding is provided for independent consultations for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from all sectors with a focus on making their business processes and models, production processes and products more circular, resource-conserving and efficient. The funded consultations are intended to encourage companies to focus on a resource-efficient and circular economy in line with the European Green Deal.
