Objective
The objective of the project is to consolidate PSIC as an operational and useful tool serving the region, capable of activating, connecting, and sustaining industrial symbiosis initiatives throughout Catalonia.
At SÍMBIOSY, we work to:
- Encourage interaction between companies.
- Create real and efficient synergies.
- Promote the use of PSIC as a strategic tool.
- Expand the active user base.
The project includes the organization of in-person events and thematic webinars, aimed at sharing knowledge, highlighting real experiences, and opening up new spaces for collaboration between public and private stakeholders.
Communication is a key element of the project, both to give visibility to the opportunities and results of industrial symbiosis and to reinforce the role of PSIC as a reference space in Catalonia. In this regard, work is continuously carried out on creating and updating content, promoting activities, and aligning messages with public circular economy policies.
