MOVECO's benefits for the Danube region

The richly diverse Danube region is a vital link between Eastern and Western Europe. The close cooperation and concerted efforts within MOVECO promote economic growth, environmental sustainability and social engagement in various ways:

• Transnational strategy for the transition to the circular economy in the Danube region: This transnational strategy includes the identification of possible material streams for the Danube region and roadmaps for the strategy's implementation.
• Roadmap and Action Plan: to implement the transnational strategy, three cross country roadmaps (innovation group 1, group 2 and group 3) have been developed. These together with the thereof derived action plan help to achieve the transition to a circular economy.
