HOOP – Urban Circular Bioeconomy Hub
The HOOP, Urban Circular Bioeconomy Hub, is a European initiative funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme with a consortium of 23 partners from 10 European countries.
HOOP aims to empower, through technical assistance, eight cities and regions by equipping them with the administrative, technical, economic, financial, and legal knowledge necessary to promote investments for obtaining safe, sustainable, and bio-based products from wastewater and municipal solid waste.
RdA Climate Solutions is responsible for the assessment and definition of innovative business models and financing programs as well as the development of specific due diligence tools for circular economy projects.
Among the activities promoted by RdA Climate Solutions, the HOOP Circular Investors Board was created, bringing together some of the main investors in sustainable finance in Europe to discuss relevant topics for financing circular economy projects. This group, which includes the European Investment Bank, among others, meets twice a year under the coordination of our General Manager, Jorge Rodrigues de Almeida, as Chairperson of the HOOP Circular Investors Board.
