Spoke 4

Smart and sustainable materials for circular and augmented industrial products and processes

Ambition: New conceptualizations of climate friendly products and processes and experimentation in fostering a natural oriented disruptive technology for a Green Made in Italy approach. The spoke will conceive material building blocks supporting “dematerialization” and biological transformation of Italian 3A craftmanship, start-ups, SMEs and LEs: win-win is the challenge of the future!
