Six EU-Funded Projects Receive the 2025 RegioStars Awards in Brussels

Six innovative EU-funded projects were honoured at the 2025 RegioStars Awards last night in Brussels, held during the 23rd European Week of Regions and Cities. With a record 266 applications from all over Europe, projects were recognized across five thematic categories, plus a Public Choice Award.

The RegioStars awards have become Europe’s label of excellence for EU-funded projects that demonstrate the impact and inclusiveness of regional development.

This year’s finalists include initiatives ranging from carbon loss reduction in peatlands across the Atlantic Area to the deployment of electric shared cabin taxis on train tracks in Germany, a Lithuanian virtual library for those with print disabilities, and a modern ecological shopping centre in Belgium.

The notable AGEO project, focusing on geohazard risk management in the Atlantic region, garnered two awards, including the Public Choice Award with about 2,000 votes.
