We invite companies interested in benefiting from this free support to complete a short Expression of Interest, available here, before February 21st, 2022. If you have any further queries, please contact Niall.OLeary@mtu.ie  with the subject ‘Circular Economy’. Expressions of Interest should outline the activities of the company and some of the business decisions under consideration that could be examined during the programme. We will then arrange a short meeting to discuss the programme and its suitability for each applicant.
