The event will serve to highlight the experiences of the participants in the numerous workshops that have been held during the project. Special emphasis will be put on innovation recommendations as a result of the research carried out with the members of the stakeholder group. Key circular economy practices will be presented during the session.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>This project has contributed to the transition of the European economy towards closed-loop systems through the creation of a circular economy network of ports, which will provide an innovation ecosystem around the port activity and stimulate circular economy initiatives in ports. This network of ports facilitates the exchange of experiences and good practices; provides policy recommendations and fosters the training as well as new business opportunities both in port clusters and other industries related to this environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1
