CYPRESS aims to establish the Meuse-Rhine region as forefront runner for the sustainable, highly-circular and resource-efficient production of the emerging climate-neutral electric mobility technologies.
The production of vehicles is an important economic driver in the Meuse-Rhine region, making a major contribution to employment, knowledge development, research and innovation. By missing the economic opportunities offered by circular production, the risk arises that the innovative Meuse-Rhine automotive production infrastructure will largely move to other regions in Europe and the world on the longer term.
CYPRESS aims to stimulate automotive SMEs to making the transition to a fully circular life-cycle, from production design to the assembly processes and ultimately developing products with a small carbon footprint. Setting up a strong and locally embedded network for circular innovation is an essential part of the project.
The project will on the one hand have a positive impact on the ecologic footprint, and on the other contribute to the long-term sustainability of the regional production industry. For the latest results and news, please visit https://www.interreg-cypress.eu/
