GREENSMARTMED

Green and Resilient European Excellence Network for Smart MED SMEs.

The GREENSMARTMED project creates a European community able to uptake innovations for a green and resilient manufacturing value chain, contributing to RIS3 implementation, and helping SMEs to turn sustainability challenges into opportunities and establish sustainable business development opportunities.

GREENSMARTMED integrates and upgrades the methodologies developed in the Interreg Med GREENOMED and finMED projects, leveraging the GREEN GROWTH community, to develop, test, and make transferable a new integrated methodology and its related toolkit, enhancing interregional cooperation among the 4helix stakeholders in five Mediterranean Regions (Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Bulgaria).

During the project, the GREENSMARTMED methodology and tools will be tested in regions with different levels of economic development, with the goal of developing a widely transferable methodology across Europe. Based on RIS3, the target sectors of the project are machinery, textiles, plastics, agri-food, and mobility & batteries, with a focus on solutions, technology transfer, and business practices that address sustainable materials/chemicals, energy and resource optimisation, and emission reduction.

Eurecat takes part in the GREENSMARTMED project through its Consultancy Department, developing the following tasks:

• Coordination with Catalan partners and associated partners; organisation of meetings and other events.
• Application of the project methodology to the case study of Catalonia: mapping of interested parties, creation of interest groups, etc.
• Participation in project meetings and other project activities (dissemination, communication, exploitation).

The consortium of the project comprises organisations dedicated to sustainability and actively involved in defining and implementing RIS3 policies.
