International Synergies specializes in industrial symbiosis, promoting the circular economy through the exchange and reuse of resources. Their core offerings include the NISP® (National Industrial Symbiosis Programme), which connects businesses for collaboration and resource sharing, resulting in cost and carbon savings. The SYNERGie® platform, operational since 2009, is an award-winning resource matching service that identifies global reuse opportunities for organizations across various sectors including construction, food and beverage, utilities, and manufacturing.

They work with a diverse client base in England, Northern Ireland, and other European regions.

Looking ahead, International Synergies plans to expand its SYNERGie® platform with new features aimed at enhancing resource matching capabilities. They are also targeting expansion into additional European markets by 2025, leveraging insights gained from their operational experiences. The recent acquisition by Ardian will support these initiatives, providing the necessary resources and strategic guidance for further growth.
