Aiming High and Staying Green in Münsterland

By implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and digital tools, these SMEs are primed to tackle the challenges that lie ahead, while a leadership program prepares the next generation of digital pioneers.
- Circular Bioeconomy (€2.10M): By reimagining waste as a valuable resource, this project aims to build a sustainable future for the Münsterland region.
