A special moment of the meeting was the official welcome of the new partner WEIZ, whose expertise further enriches the consortium’s reach across Central Europe.
Over the two days, partners reviewed the overall implementation progress of the project, discussing deliverables, timelines, and upcoming milestones to ensure the initiative stays on track towards its goals.
A key topic of discussion was the startup acceleration program, with partners defining concrete next steps for its implementation and identifying opportunities to maximise its impact for SMEs across the region.
The consortium also received an update on the catalogue of service providers, one of the project’s flagship outputs. The catalogue is an open, searchable database designed to connect SMEs with companies offering solutions to reduce industrial carbon footprints, making it easier for businesses to identify reliable suppliers and compare available green technologies.
Partners also took stock of the individual consultations delivered to SMEs on Funding Decarbonisation Opportunities, summarising the work carried out so far and the concrete support that businesses have benefitted from through this activity.
The meeting concluded with a Steering Committee session focused on next reporting period instructions and deadlines, reaffirming the partnership’s shared commitment to delivering tangible results for SMEs in the green transition across Central Europe.
