The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Montenegro, in partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Development, is organizing a training on industrial symbiosis, intended for companies from the manufacturing and service sectors.<\/p>\n
The training will take place on Thursday, 22 January 2026<\/strong>, from 09:00 to 13:00<\/strong>, at the UN Eco Building in Podgorica<\/strong> (Stanka Dragojevi\u0107a Boulevard, bb).<\/p>\n The training will combine theoretical foundations and hands-on practice<\/strong>, covering the core principles of the circular economy and industrial symbiosis, and explaining how industrial symbiosis differs from traditional recycling and waste management approaches. Participants will explore industrial symbiosis from a business perspective<\/strong>, including different models of cooperation, resource-use synergies, and international best practices relevant to Montenegro. Through practical tools and an interactive World Caf\u00e9<\/em> session, participants will work on mapping resource flows, identifying losses and by-products<\/strong>, and uncovering concrete opportunities for collaboration between companies, such as resource exchange, shared infrastructure, and knowledge sharing. The training will also address success factors and common barriers<\/strong> to industrial symbiosis, the role of facilitation and trust-building, and available support mechanisms and next steps, including pilot projects and future cooperation opportunities.<\/p>\n The event is part of a broader project supporting the development of the circular economy. In the next phase of the project, financial support for companies is planned through grants<\/strong> for the development of circular solutions and industrial symbiosis projects.<\/p>\n Participation is free of charge<\/strong>, the number of places is limited<\/strong>, and simultaneous interpretation<\/strong> will be provided.<\/p>\n The full event’s agenda can be found on this link.<\/a> Interested participants can register their attendance through this registration form<\/a>.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"industrial-symbiosis-training-for-small-and-medium-enterprises","image":{"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca.jpg","id":3253,"extension":"jpg","width":1080,"height":1080,"filesize":240775,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":300,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":19510,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-300x300.jpg"},"large":{"width":1024,"height":1024,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":144734,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-1024x1024.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":5998,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-150x150.jpg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":768,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":92362,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-768x768.jpg"},"trp-custom-language-flag":{"width":12,"height":12,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":372,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-12x12.jpg"},"blog-large":{"width":669,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":31199,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-669x272.jpg"},"blog-medium":{"width":320,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13835,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-320x202.jpg"},"recent-posts":{"width":700,"height":441,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":52312,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-700x441.jpg"},"recent-works-thumbnail":{"width":66,"height":66,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":1749,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-66x66.jpg"},"fusion-200":{"width":200,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":10182,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-200x200.jpg"},"fusion-400":{"width":400,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":32421,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-400x400.jpg"},"fusion-600":{"width":600,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":62718,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-600x600.jpg"},"fusion-800":{"width":800,"height":800,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":98942,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-800x800.jpg"},"portfolio-full":{"width":940,"height":400,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":57369,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-940x400.jpg"},"portfolio-one":{"width":540,"height":272,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":25947,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-540x272.jpg"},"portfolio-two":{"width":460,"height":295,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":25304,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-460x295.jpg"},"portfolio-three":{"width":300,"height":214,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":13873,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-300x214.jpg"},"portfolio-five":{"width":177,"height":142,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":7093,"url":"https:\/\/wbcirculareconomy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IS_trening-za-preduzeca-177x142.jpg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-01-22
