Project description
Guiding manufacturing SMEs to adopt advanced technologies
The European manufacturing sector is facing the challenge of achieving Green Deal goals while remaining competitive. The EU-funded GreenSME project will support manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) towards green, digital and social sustainability by strengthening their capacity to adopt advanced technologies (AT) and become competitive and climate neutral. The project will establish a green SME hub with a SME sustainable pathway. The hub will provide sustainability awareness and industry engagement activities, ecosystem networking opportunities and tailored advisory services to SMEs. Moreover, GreenSME project will deliver a sustainability assessment tool, an advanced sustainability action plan (ASAP) definition methodology, and finally, a AT implementation practices white book.
Objective
Manufacturing is among the key driving forces of the European economy and their engagement is a must to achieve Green Deal goals. greenSME project aims to drive manufacturing SME towards green, digital, and social sustainability. To achieve this main goal, the project will strength SME capacity for advanced technologies adoption to become competitive and climate neutral, maximising the benefits for all parts of society. This vision implies SMEs to develop a strategic approach to sustainability.
The project vision, EU manufacturing industry sustainability shift, will be achieved through greenSME HUB which gathers sustainability awareness and industry engagement activities, ecosystem networking space and tailored advisory services to SMEs through the SME sustainability transformation pathway.
?The greenSME HUB will become a knowledge sharing area that gathers resources, activities, and stakeholders to enable the uptake of AT by SMEs for sustainability.
?SME sustainability transformation pathway. The pathway gathers the whole process of guidance that will be given to the SMEs for their shift towards sustainability.
?The SMEs that have developed a greenSME sustainability assessment will be eligible to apply for financial support. The project will dedicate a budget of 3 MEuros for supporting SMEs in the implementation of the sustainability strategy action plans
greenSME project is firmly committed with open science policy, and project exploitable result will be shared and disseminated. Project main outcomes are: 1) EU manufacturing SME sustainability Roadmap, 2) greenSME HUB. A knowledge sharing community that gathers manufacturing ecosystem stakeholders and all the developed sustainability communication material within the project, 3) greenSME sustainability assessment tool and Advanced Sustainability Action plan (ASAP) definition methodologyand 4) SME Sustainable pathway and AT implementation good practices white book.
