Cork Chamber has launched a new innovation network, connecting small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to exchange ideas and explore sustainable, circular solutions.

Called Bridges, the network is an EU-funded project linking the Chamber with partner organisations in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. The aim is to collaborate and support SMEs on circularity, keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible, through re-use, repair, re-manufacturing and recycling, reducing waste.
