Manufacturing SMEs registered in our HUB benefited from our support. Their journey began with completing our free Self-Assessment Tool, after which they developed an Action Plan alongside our experts.
Then alongside with one or two Accredited Sustainability and Technology Providers, all of whom had been accredited by the greenSME project, they applied to our open calls.
These funding calls aimed to provide financial assistance – a €35,000 lump sum. The support was crucial for implementing the recommendations outlined in their Advanced Sustainability Action Plan (ASAP), ultimately fostering greater sustainability, adaptability, and resilience.

We awarded 21 proposals from 70 applications on Open Call 1.
For S&T Providers:Â Both Poland and Italy demonstrated strong engagement, with Poland submitting 9 applications (7 awarded) and Italy submitting 7 applications (all 7 awarded). Italy’s 100% award rate is particularly notable among countries with multiple applications. Spain also showed substantial involvement with 4 applications, securing 3 awards. Turkey, Greece, Austria, and Portugal each had 1 application, all of which were successfully awarded, indicating a broader, albeit smaller-scale, engagement from these countries.
Manufacturing SMEs: Similar to S&T Providers, Poland and Italy were key participants, with Poland submitting 8 applications (6 awarded) and Italy 6 applications (all 6 awarded). Again, Italy achieved a 100% success rate among its applicants. Spain followed with 5 applications, resulting in 4 awards. Turkey, Slovenia, Romania, and Portugal also contributed applications. Notably, Turkey, Slovenia, and Portugal each had 1 application that was awarded, while Romania had 2 applications, both of which were awarded.Â
