The expected solutions should be innovative, addressing international state-of-the-art standards. Projects should demonstrate sufficient technological maturity and have a clear market potential. They should contribute to climate change mitigation, adaptation to environmental risks, pollution reduction, sustainable resource use, circular economy, and biodiversity protection.
