Our missions

Our network has multiple objectives, including promoting the visibility of our members to public and private decision-makers, facilitating discussions between professionals, working together on shared projects, finding partners to development projects, and providing development support. We take different approaches to achieving each of these objectives, such as collective and cross-cutting work and pooling resources.

Access new markets, calls to tender and calls for projects while encouraging cooperation between members and connecting them to environmental project leaders.

Any actor, whether public or private, wishing to undertake a project to promote the circular economy and the ecological transition will find that Soltena is a valuable resource centre, providing information, raising awareness, offering guidance and support, and drawing on the operational solutions and technical expertise available in the region.

One of the strengths of Soltena is its global and systemic vision of the ecological transition, based on complementary internal and external expertise.

Soltena works alongside the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine to promote the 11 ambitions of the Néo Terra roadmap, in particular:

• Accelerating the energy and ecological transition of companies in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
• Ensuring Nouvelle-Aquitaine is a region working towards “zero waste” by 2030
• Building a new energy mix
• Preserving our natural resources and biodiversity
• Preserving and protecting water resources

For many years, the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine and ADEME have jointly entrusted Soltena with a certain number of groundbreaking regional missions which we promote through our “Resource centre for the ecological transition”. The centre is particularly focussed on the circular economy including:

• Managing the network and the Recita platform.
• Managing the industrial and regional ecology programme in Nouvelle-Aquitaine (EITNA).
• The regional eco-design awareness raising and support programme, “Become”.
