On 25 June 2025, the GreenBoost4WISEs Final Conference took place at the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels. The event brought together over 70 participants from the WISE sector, public authorities, and EU institutions to explore how WISEs can lead the way in building a greener, more inclusive economy.
Key highlights from the day included:
- Success stories from Italy, Austria, and Ireland, where WISEs strengthened their sustainability efforts thanks to GreenBoost4WISEs.
- A high-level exchange with stakeholders, including MEP Lynn Boylan and representatives from RREUSE, UCLouvain, and DG EMPL, addressing policy barriers and opportunities for scaling impact.
- Insightful panels on green practices, such as eco-design, waste reduction, and energy transition, showing WISEs’ capacity for innovation.
- A dynamic elevator pitch session, where project beneficiaries shared their green actions—from reuse platforms to circular cafés and sustainability audits.
The conference underscored the need for tailored support, fair funding, and coherent policies to fully unlock WISEs’ potential in the green and just transition.
