The consortium of Vilnius Gediminas University of Technology (VilniusTech) aims to develop smart, climate-neutral production technologies and materials (SmartEcoTech) leveraging the scientific research and experimental development ecosystem of technological universities and companies. The project’s objective is to enhance environmental quality and mitigate air pollution by contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Lithuania. Additionally, it seeks to promote the adoption of sustainable solutions in the construction sector, thereby expediting the transition of the construction market towards sustainability and zero waste.
In December 2023, the consortium coordinator VilniusTech finalized a financing agreement with the Innovation Agency Lithuania. Over the upcoming years, the consortium will establish a competence center, undertake 10 R&D projects focusing on energy and environmental protection, and provide innovation support and consulting services. The projected total value of the initiative amounts to 32.10 million euros.
This ambitious project is collaboratively implemented by a consortium comprising 14 partners, including Vilnius Tech, Kaunas University of Technology, UAB SG dujos Auto, UAB Arginta, UAB 3D Creative, UAB Ekobazė, UAB Provectus redivivus, AB Road Maintenance, UAB Soli Tek R&D, UAB Nanoversa, Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists, Sunrise Tech Park, Kaunas Science and Technology Park, and Lithuanian Innovation Center. The planned missions also involve active participation from four members of the Cleantech Cluster Lithuania. The project is implemented by Innovation Agency Lithuania.
Project duration: January 1, 2024 – August 31, 2026.
The SmartEcoTech project (no. 02-002-P-0001) is funded by the European Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan “New Generation Lithuania” and the budget of the Republic of Lithuania.
