NCP Flanders Testimonial from Mechelen
Our beloved “Follower City”, Mechelen, recently gave a Testimonial to the National Contact Point Flanders about their participation in the UNCHAIN project.
NCP Flanders – Supporting Flemish Stakeholders in European Projects
National Contact Points (NCPs) are essential support structures established by EU Member States and Associated Countries to help stakeholders access opportunities within the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes. In Belgium, NCPs are organized regionally, and NCP Flanders provides free guidance to enterprises, research institutions, and public bodies in Flanders and Flemish organizations based in Belgium. Their services include navigating EU funding, legal and financial advice, and support for preparing project proposals.
Mechelen’s involvement in UNCHAIN
The city of Mechelen recently shared its testimonial with NCP Flanders, emphasizing the value of participating in the UNCHAIN project. As a Follower City, Mechelen plays a key role in the project, learning from and building on other cities’ innovative urban logistics solutions. The city’s commitment to sustainable freight transport and urban logistics innovation makes it an important part of the UNCHAIN community.
We are delighted to have Mechelen on board as they exemplify how smaller cities can act as dynamic hubs for logistics innovation. Their proactive approach to addressing urban freight challenges is a testament to their forward-thinking mindset and dedication to sustainability.
