Speeding up the MED SMEs’ uptaking of eco-innovative solutions in energy and water management
Capenergies supports tourist accommodation to be more efficient in their water and energy consumptions thanks to the GREENinMED project, funded by the European programme ENI-CBC MED. Through this action, Capenergies also wishes to contribute to provide a new impetus to the tourism sector in the Region South of France and Corsica in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis.
This European programme supports cooperation projects between Mediterranean countries in order to promote the development of SMEs, technology transfer, innovation, environmental sustainability, social inclusion and the fight against poverty. The GREENinMED project relies on a budget of €1.58 million, 90% co-financed by the EU (€1.42 million). The project is led by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and Industry and includes the following 4 other Mediterranean partners:
- Capenergies competitiveness cluster for its network of companies providing innovative energy solutions;
- the Israeli research centers Kinneret College and the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies;
- the Israeli Water Association.
To achieve its objectives, GREENinMED envisages various support mechanisms for tourist accommodations (hotels, campsites, resorts, etc.) and SMEs proposing innovative solutions for energy and water management:
- A cross-border eco-innovation window, based on a network of experts from the 3 partner countries helping SME tourist accommodation establishments identify and analyse the most suitable eco-innovative solutions addressing their specific needs in terms of energy and water efficiency.
- • 30 innovation vouchers providing SME tourist accommodation establishments based in one of the eligible territories with consultancy services in view of fostering their adoption of innovative solutions. [1] ;
- Direct financial support in the form of 8 sub-grants up to €50,000[2]with the aim to finance the installation of innovative solutions for energy and water management in SME tourist accommodation establishments.
- Training on pitching and fund raising for start-ups in the field of eco-innovation in water and energy management.
The GREENinMED project plans to support globally about 150 Mediterranean SMEs.
