TIP also serves as an alliance between research organisations, reinforcing their cooperation and development of new knowledge and services for the industry.
TIP is the outcome of the SYMBIOMA project, which is financed by Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme. The project aims to provide micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in remote and sparsely populated EU areas with services to employ circular economy models for improved resource efficiency, new business development and to ensure the economic and environmental sustainability of those regions.
