Innovative Green Economy – Event on April 2nd

What connects drone milk, mushroom pasta, and 3D printing filament made from recycled plastic? At first glance — nothing. But in reality, they are the common denominator of a new, greener future for Macedonia. These are the products of our grantees within the EICEE project, proving that the green economy is not just a new term or trend, but a reality lived by local organizations.

We invite you to the final event of the project, where we will present the results and introduce you to the people behind Ekovita, Javor Zrnovci, and INO TECH CLUB.

Why is this important? The current economic model in the region is unsustainable — it depletes resources and pollutes the environment. Through the project “EICEE – Eco-Innovation and Circular Economy Ecosystem in the Western Balkans,” we focused on transitioning to a model that promotes sustainable products and efficiency. This event is primarily designed to inspire and encourage, but also to highlight the collaboration between civil society, social enterprises, and local authorities in building a supportive system for green development.

Join us to hear about the challenges, see the products, and support one another!
