Digital technology plays a big role in our transition to a circular economy, which aims to make optimum use of resources within industries. Investing in innovation is good for the protection of the environment, and it also contributes to Europe’s competitiveness.The EU-funded DigiPrime project will develop the concept of a circular economy digital platform in order to create circular business models based on the data-enhanced recovery and reuse of functions and materials.

Focus on
Open Calls: Call For Evaluators
DigiPrime is selecting Expert Evaluators to support the review process of the proposals received from the two DigiPrime Open Calls; the aim is to gather a set of recognized experts…
Pilot Cases
Batteries
Battery Pilot will aim at demonstrating that the DigiPrime platform can unlock a sustainable business case targeting the remanufacturing and re-use of second life Li-Ion battery cells with a cross-sectorial approach linking the e-mobility sector and the renewable energy sector, specifically focusing on solar and wind energy applications.
Textile
The objective of this pilot is to demonstrate the fundamental role of the DigiPrime platform to support the creation of a robust circular economy for textile-made components through a cross-sectorial approach between automotive (especially for interior trim) and other textile sectors (e.g., furniture, technical textiles, etc.)
Mechatronics & Electronics
Nowadays remanufacturers in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry are facing a lack of planning reliability. Mechatronics and Electronics pilot enables a platform for repair manufacturers for reusing obsolete electronic components resulting in an increased overall regeneration rate and reduced landfill.
Cross-regional value-chain
“Cross-regional value chains’ identification” Pilot has the scope to identify cross-sectorial and cross-regional circular economy value-chains, based on the methodology developed within the SCREEN project, where 17 European regions co-created a replicable systemic approach towards a transition to Circular Economy within the context of the Smart Specialization Strategy.
Circular Innovation Hubs Integration
“Circular Innovation Hubs” are designed as connected pilot facilities to serve companies in multiple sectors and across existing value chains: to test viability, to increase visibility and to de-risk downstream private investments in new circular industrial cases. The challenge is connecting demonstration infrastructure in Europe at the adequate level of granularity, demand and supply.
