• Create a cross-border eco-innovation desk based on a network of experts from the 3 partner countries which identifies and analyses the most relevant existing solutions for saving energy and water, and adapts them to the specific needs of this type of establishment. Discover benchmarking solutions for the tourism industryThese include several innovations developed by Capenergies members;
• Offer advice to tourist accommodation through 30 innovation vouchersto encourage them to adopt innovative energy solutions in a tourist structure based in one of the eligible areas. (Andalusia, Murcia, Valencian Community, Catalonia, Balearic Islands for Spain, Southern Region and Corsica for France, Israel) ;
• Provide financial support for the rapid introduction or deployment of new solutions through 8 grants of up to €50k.. The aim is to finance validation and development tests or the actual application of the system on a pre-identified site;
• Provide pitching and fundraising training for start-ups and expanding companies in the field of eco-innovation in water and energy management.
