The investment from the EIC fund follows a successful EIC Accelerator application of Sensoneo in October 2020, when Sensoneo received a grant supporting the large-scale deployment of their smart waste management innovations in two European capitals, and completion of their R&D projects including “Pay as you sort” solution.

“I am pleased to announce the EIC Fund is helping Sensoneo to further develop its ground-breaking technology aiming at redefining urban and large-scale waste management. This investment also witnesses the European commitment in supporting the digital transition in everything related to the environment and green economy including managing waste efficiently and with a lower environmental footprint”,
