Objective
Recent years have seen a rapid growth of SMEs producing technologies and providing services in the field of renewable energy sources. Usually these companies are small, frequently even very small (less than 50 employees). Whereas the small size presents an advantage in terms of flexibility and innovation, there are also severe disadvantages, especially regarding R&D, marketing and export markets. The aim of the project is to set up regional co-operation networks of such SMEs in Austria, Sweden and Germany. These networks will support small SMEs in overcoming these barriers by providing well-targeted services to foster their internal and external development and make them more professional, innovative and competitive. As these very small SMEs are often not used to co-operation, a special emphasis will be put on establishing trust and on motivating them to take new approaches, which will lead to further market penetration of RES technologies.
