Demo Site Expected Impact
| The municipality aims to co-create tangible tools through the project, emphasizing practical outcomes that can be immediately implemented. It plans to collaborate within the project network and extend these efforts through its established participatory platform, which includes local industrial players, to tackle challenges such as energy transition and micro-mobility. The municipality also conducts thematic workstreams and organizes regular workshops to involve stakeholders in the co-creation process. Kobanya aims to integrate the project outcomes into its Local Economy Development Strategy, ensuring they are practical and contribute to building a local green energy and micro-mobility ecosystem, sustaining these initiatives beyond the project's duration. |
