EIC Portfolio: First Annual Meeting & Press Release

Mi-Hy is part of a portfolio of eight research and innovatin projects made up of 51 organizations from 12 EU Member States and 3 non-EU countries and funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) under the Pathfinder Challenge ‘Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen Management and Valorisation’. Like the name indicates, each of these research and innovation projects focus on CO2 and nitrogen management and recently they came together to share their progresses and to discuss pioneering innovations.

On June 17-18, 2024, members of the portfolio came together in an annual meeting held in Helsinki. The meeting, hosted by Finnish food technology company and project partner Solar Foods, served to encourage and foster conversations aimed at reshaping Europe’s environmental future, and also allowed project partners to connect and visit Solar Foods’ brand new factory.

The eight initiatives – CONFETI, DAM4CO2, ECOMO, HYDROCOW, ICONIC, Mi-Hy, MINICOR, and SUPERVAL – are formed by multidisciplinary teams from universities, research and technology organizations, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. Collectively, these projects have embarked on a common mission to pool their resources and expertise to transform pollutants and waste into energy and value-added products, in an economically and environmentally sustainable way.
