    Project Details

    Description

    MATChE is a programme carried out by Technical University of Denmark in order to support Danish industry to increase its competitiveness, growth and job creation by demonstrating how to engage in an effective transition towards Circular Economy (CE), based on current readiness assessment and strategic driver identification.

    By enabling an effective transition of Danish industry towards CE, a long-term systemic and sustainable enhancement of the Danish economy and society is expected, with value maximization and increased resource productivity.

    The project’s primary audience is the Danish manufacturing industry, including their upstream and downstream value chains, across numerous sectors. Industry companies include significant players in the Danish economy, embracing large manufacturing companies and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). By taking a cross-sectorial approach, exponential knowledge enhancement and experience sharing among a large variety of companies are enabled. This brings high innovation and business potential.

    MATChE is supported by the Danish Industry Foundation (Industriens Fond).
