HORIZON-NEB-2026-01-PARTICIPATION-02

CTA’s potential collaborations strongly align with the objectives of the HORIZON‑NEB‑2026‑01‑PARTICIPATION‑02 topic, particularly those centred on collaborative innovation, regional ecosystem development and impact maximisation. Partnerships involving Living Labs, and multi‑actor regional innovation nodes are especially relevant, as they support the design and testing of spatial solutions through co‑creation, stakeholder engagement and transdisciplinary methodologies. Collaborations focused on market uptake, SME acceleration and technology transfer also reinforce the topic’s aim to generate replicable, community‑centred neighbourhood models. CTA’s experience in managing cascade funding schemes, public‑private partnerships, and participation in European networks—such as Circular Cities & Regions Initiative, Greenovate! Europe, and the European Cluster Collaboration Platform—provides a strong foundation for contributing to integrated and sustainable neighbourhood design. Moreover, its capacities in policy roadmapping, communication, and community engagement ensure robust governance and dissemination frameworks, critical for achieving the NEB values of sustainability, inclusion and beauty across diverse urban contexts.
