Challenge
The EU aims to become climate neutral by 2050. As manufacturing is a key player in achieving this target, a shift towards sustainable operations is a must.
Without awareness of the impacts of geopolitical and demographic changes, global supply chain disruptions and carbon reduction regulations, it is difficult to take the first step towards sustainability. The slow uptake of advanced technologies, social innovation and environmental sustainability prevents competitiveness in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.

To drive cleaner, more energy-efficient, and cost-effective operations, we established two innovative pathways: one for Manufacturing SMEs and another for Sustainability and Technology Providers. Offering funding opportunities through two open calls, we empowered Manufacturing SMEs to implement recommendations from their Advanced Sustainability Action Plans (ASAPs), enabling them to become more sustainable, adaptable, and resilient, with support from Accredited Sustainability and Technology Providers.
