Regional Circular Economy Business Acceleration

RECEBA builds circular economy skills, drives innovation, and delivers applied learning by connecting businesses, VET providers, regional authorities, and research organisations across six European regions.

Three entry points to circular skills and innovation

Learn circular skills

RECEBA maps circular economy skills needs across six European regions and turns them into practical training: ten modules and more than 50 microcredentials, co-designed with companies and VET providers.

Solve real challenges

Six regional Circular Business Labs, where companies bring real circular economy challenges and work on solutions with experts, trainers and policy makers turning business problems into applied learning.

Join the ecosystem

RECEBA connects VET providers, businesses, regional authorities, and researchers through VET Excellence Panels and a growing European Community of Practice on circular economy skills.

Diverse ecosystems, one shared transition

Every RECEBA region brings its own industrial strengths, circular economy priorities, and VET landscape. Through Circular Business Labs and VET Excellence Panels, they test and scale a common model for skills intelligence, applied learning, and business acceleration, designed to be adapted by other regions over time.
