The search for synergies between regions is based on a process of pairing critical hotspots in the regional value chains with emerging ideas throughout the SCREEN partnership. Based on quantitative and qualitative criteria for both hotspots and emerging ideas, the best potential synergies can be extracted and analyzed further to develop powerful cross-regional synergies. This guideline therefore helps to:

• Build on your existing regional opportunity scan from the SCREEN tool and get a deeper and more analytical understanding of the regional value chain through a systemic lens.

• Discover opportunities and intervention points where you can realize circular benefits.

• Identify the opportunities that can best be unleashed through cross-regional synergies and structure them according to sector, material flows, and viability.

• Begin to filter and assess the possible cross-regional synergies based on criteria that score its potential value and impact.
