The SEE BRIDGE project, that ERNACT is part of the consortium, announces the launch of its second Open Call, an initiative to support social economy SMEs (including start-ups) operating in energy-intensive industries and their value chains. This initiative will provide financial support and resources to help social economy SMEs transition to greener and more digital operations, thereby increasing their competitiveness and impact.

Under this call, social economy SMEs operating in energy-intensive industries (chemicals, steel & aluminium, paper, plastics, mining, extraction and quarrying, refineries, cement, wood, rubber, non-ferrous metals, glass and ceramics, construction, waste management, transportation) and located in EU Member States, European Economic Area countries, EU associated countries and European Neighbourhood Policy countries are invited to participate by submitting their proposals.

Funded activities include a combination of:

Business support services (by external service providers only)
Consulting services for certification or labelling assets (by external service providers only)
Training(s) on CBAM or other digital and green transition topics (by external training providers only)

Selected applicants will receive a lump sum grant of between 2,000 and 4,000 EUR for the implementation of their proposed activities. This financial support aims to enable SMEs to adopt more sustainable and digital practices, thereby increasing their overall effectiveness and contribution to a greener economy.

The submission of proposals is open from January 13 to March 13 (17:00 CET) through the F6S platform and must be in English, following the procedure described on the project website and the Guidelines for Applicants.
