Regulatory Sandboxes as Enablers for CleanTech and Circular Innovation – EU Level Experiences and Future Collaboration Possibilities

This event focuses on what regulatory sandboxes can provide for facilitating the deployment of disruptive technologies in CleanTech and Circularity. Regulatory sandboxes are an experimentation tool allowing innovators to develop and test products, services and business models in a controlled real-world environment supervised by authorities.

Join us in this event hosted by the Horizon-2020 MSCA project OpenInnoTrain, organised by WP4 CleanTech Leader University of Vaasa in collaboration with partners RMIT University and INESC TEC. Learn more about experiences gathered within EU and to discuss future collaboration possibilities across sectors and disciplines.
