The Climate Mission is where we can accelerate!
Eindhoven and Helmond are working on an ambitious mission: becoming more sustainable faster. A more sustainable environment not only contributes to clean air and healthy nature but also to the well-being of everyone who lives, works and recreates. Now and in the future.
With the Climate Mission, Eindhoven and Helmond, together with companies, knowledge institutions, organisations and residents, are heading towards fossil-free, circular, and climate-resilient cities. This course consists of jointly defined city themes, linked to mission pathways. With the Climate Mission, we are taking steps together.
Update!
In September, we submitted our plan to Brussels for the EU mission ‘100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities’. The goal is to get a Mission Label and European support. Because the Climate Mission pulls out all the stops to speed up! We expect to know more before the Summer.
Discover the themes
During the labs and conferences in 2023, together with the city, we defined four city themes. Want to know more about Vital Inner City, Sustainable Neighborhoods, Robust Region and Resilient Enterprises? View them here.
Discover the missions
We have defined 22 mission pathways, linked to the city themes. Some missions transcend themes, such as working on climate-neutral mobility for both Sustainable Neighborhoods, Vital Inner City and Resilient Enterprises. Want to know more about the missions? View them on these overview pages.
Discover the projects
Our mission pathways are objectives to achieve climate neutrality but contain no concrete actions yet. Therefore, we translate the pathways into projects with concrete results, which will contribute to our goals for circular, fossil-free and climate-neutral. We keep adding projects and linking them to pathways. For the current overview, look here.
Projects
There are already many projects in Helmond and Eindhoven contributing to a climate-neutral city. Below you will find a random selection of these projects.

Description
The platform was established to support companies in the transition to a circular economy. The focus is on achieving industrial symbiosis through the software tool InduSym. Companies can offer their waste streams to other companies that want to use them as raw materials. The platform facilitates the search for and offering of raw materials, enabling automatic matches with other companies. In addition to materials, vehicles, tools, spaces, services, and even personnel can also be exchanged. The platform offers opportunities for renting or leasing resources and sharing personnel. The concept of industrial symbiosis is used to utilize the waste stream of one company as raw material for another. This leads to more efficient, economically viable, and sustainable business parks. The platform also provides space for necessary knowledge sharing and acts as a circular network.

We at Stam+ de Koning Bouw would like to reduce and separate waste. However, we often encounter the issue that there is not enough space on the construction site, resulting in a large amount of waste going into the residual waste container. This makes it more difficult to recycle the waste.
