Project Goal

The JEWEL project aims to mobilise the European manufacturing sector—especially innovative SMEs—around the challenges of achieving net-zero manufacturing. Its ambition is to foster the emergence of high-impact innovation projects and to support the adoption of advanced technologies that reduce the environmental footprint of industrial production, in line with the objectives of the Twin Transition.

JEWEL is structured around three core pillars:

  1. Knowledge & Resource Building
    Strengthening understanding of net-zero technologies and sustainable business models.

  2. Innovation Support
    Providing personalised, high-quality guidance to help companies move “from idea to project”.

  3. Project Financing
    Funding the most innovative solutions with strong potential for European industrial ecosystems.
