INCITE is created to systematically scan the horizon by gathering worldwide information on innovative industrial environmental techniques. Said techniques, if deemed ready for use at an industrial scale, provide significant environmental benefits and are cost-effective, could be incorporated in the Sevilla Process for the development of environmental norms.

INCITE will become a collaborative platform bringing together several actors: industry, technology providers, Member States, financial institutions, private investors, the general public, academia as well as the European Commission. It will create unique benefits and opportunities while promoting the uptake of innovative technologies to accelerate energy efficiency, circular economy, depollution and decarbonisation in industry.

INCITE aims to become the EU’s central point of reference for identifying and evaluating the environmental performance of cutting-edge industrial technologies in Europe and beyond, and for informing on related policy development and investments.
