Component 1: Innovative partnership projects for the green transition of SMEs
The main approach is to fund partnership projects between chambers, business support organizations and think tanks in the EU and Latin America. Direct activities of the implementing consortium complement the partnership projects. The measures are intended to promote the transfer and use of resource-efficient and climate-friendly production technology also through innovation and digitalisation at SME level.
