Eliza Panagiotidou

I am an industrial ecologist with a business background, working as a circular economy strategist.

I am the founder and managing director of Urban Camel, a boutique agency that specializes in strategic research and innovation for sustainable development and the circular economy. Urban Camel offers a suite of professional services, including research, training, and consultancy, to assist organizations in developing their capacity and enhancing their sustainability and circularity readiness. In addition, I collaborate with LDK Consultants, a prominent consulting and engineering firm, where I oversee sustainable solutions.

I am a registered advisor for small businesses at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and an independent proposal evaluator for EIT Manufacturing and the European Commission. I am also a member of the Sustainability and ESG Committee of the Hellenic-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 2024, I was honored with the Ecosystem Hero of the Year title at the South Europe Startup Awards. Urban Camel received the Green StartUp award at the 2023 Green Brand Awards, as well as the Sustainability Research & Innovation Agency award at the 2025 Corporate LiveWire Innovation & Excellence Awards.

I am open to both B2B collaborations and EU Projects around circular innovation, sustainable growth, green transition cross-sector including upskilling and capacity building. Feel free to reach out to explore potential synergies. I am particularly interested in building a consortium for the project calls:

-> HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-39: Towards human-centric, sustainable and resilient energy-intensive industries".

->HORIZON-CL5-2025-04-D5-07: Accelerating the circular transformation of the EU automotive industry.
