Development of an Environmentally Friendly Product
The project is funded by the Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan ‘Next Generation Lithuania.’ It will include experimental development activities and, through the application of zero-waste technologies, an environmentally friendly product will be created, – an innovative material for the production of thermal insulation panels.
The innovative material being developed offers an alternative to traditional materials, as it will be produced solely from by-products of biomass processing. This solution will reduce the use of primary raw materials, the amount of waste generated, and production costs. Moreover, it will promote the local raw material recycling industry and reduce the carbon footprint compared to traditional products made from primary raw materials.
The project budget is €62,518.45 (EU funding: €50,000.00). The implementation period is from 28 October 2024 to 31 October 2025.
Environmentally friendly product ECOHEMPRA was created during the project.
Innovations of dried blood microsampling technology
The project is implemented under Sub-Activity ‘Promoting high value-added direct foreign investments (HVA DFI): implementation of R&D, cooperation and technology transfer between large enterprises and SMEs in the technology and innovation areas (Central and Western Lithuania)‘ of Activity ‘Promoting attraction of direct foreign investments in R&D under Progress Measure No 05-001-01-05-07 ‘Establishing a Coherent System for the Promotion of Innovative Activities’ under the Economic Transformation and Competitiveness Development Programme for 2022–2030 managed by the Ministry of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania.
The project aims to upgrade UAB Imunodiagnostika‘s IVD medical device ‘Dried blood microsampler’ by improving the composition of the polymeric sample absorption tip and introducing hemoglobin binding functionality.
