The CURIOST project, funded under the Interreg Central Europe programme, supports the transition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small mid-caps towards circular
product development and sustainable manufacturing. Coordinated in Croatia by the Development and Training Centre for the Metal Industry – Metal Centre Čakovec, the project gathers 11
partners from 7 countries and 10 regions. CURIOST focuses on strengthening the resilience of
local economies by promoting innovation in industrial sectors through circular economy principles, with particular emphasis on the metal processing industry.
