About the Projects
The projects collaborate with at least 3 SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) or a mix of SMEs with large companies and/or knowledge institutions. 7 out of the 13 projects help companies to work more energy-efficiently, use sustainable energy, and reuse materials, reducing waste. By using new techniques, they waste fewer resources and emit less CO2. The other 6 projects focus on further developing smart innovations. From prototype (an initial example of a new product) to bringing a product to market.
Also apply for subsidy?
From September 15, 2025, companies contributing to a sustainable economy can apply for subsidies again. This subsidy is for projects that work on improving energy efficiency (using less energy), renewable energy sources, and circular economy (reuse of items or materials). You can find all the information on the EFRO East website.About EFRO East
