EENOVA Showcased at Clusters Meet Regions in Cluj-Napoca The EENOVA project was recently highlighted at the Clusters Meet Regions event in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where our partner AgriFood Lithuania represented the initiative during the panel discussion "Innovation in Action – Unlocking the Potential of Clusters." 🌿 The EENOVA project is implementing energy audits, renewable energy pilots, and efficiency upgrades across five regional food value chains: bakery, wine, meat, dairy, and soft drinks. Through living labs, stakeholder roundtables, and co-creation, we aim to deliver tangible sustainability impacts and contribute to the EU’s energy transition. We thank AgriFood Lithuania for presenting EENOVA’s mission and progress at this strategic gathering! #EENOVA #LIFEprogramme #ClustersMeetRegions #EnergyEfficiency #FoodInnovation #CleanEnergy #LIFEAmplifiers ___ Business Upper Austria Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes - EEIP Lebensmittel-Cluster Cleantech Bulgaria IRI UL - Institute for Innovation and Development of University of Ljubljana ConPlusUltra GmbH AgriFood Lithuania AgroTransilvania Cluster University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty

🔹 Meet the EENOVA Changemakers: University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty In EENOVA, science meets sustainability — and the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana plays a central role in making it happen. 🇸🇮 Their mission? Helping regional food value chains, especially in the dairy sector, become more energy-efficient and future-proof. As part of EENOVA’s Slovenian team, they’re turning energy audits into real action: collecting data, identifying inefficiencies, and supporting companies in optimizing their processes — all with science-backed solutions. Their drive comes from a strong belief: that sustainable food systems start with informed, evidence-based change. By translating research into practical impact, they make EENOVA’s approach not only credible but replicable across Europe. 👥 Follow us to meet more partners building a sustainable energy future in Europe’s food systems — one value chain at a time. #EENOVA #LIFEprogramme #FoodProcessing #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableFood #ClimateAction #LIFEproject #EENOVAChangemakers ___ Business Upper Austria Energy Efficiency in Industrial Processes - EEIP Lebensmittel-Cluster Cleantech Bulgaria IRI UL - Institute for Innovation and Development of University of Ljubljana ConPlusUltra GmbH AgriFood Lithuania AgroTransilvania Cluster University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty
