Are you looking for an informational, supportive, or collaborative network to develop an innovative product? We can help!
Our project provides free support to businesses through the I3 mechanism of the GREET CE (Green Transition in Central Europe) project. This support focuses on building new international consortia for project applications that address EU’s development goals in sustainability and the circular economy. The primary objective is to enhance your company’s growth capabilities within transnational value chains, whether through EU program grants, development funds, private investors (such as crowdfunding and venture capital), or other non-financial measures (such as connecting with relevant customers or strategic partners for business expansion).
