Description

The "ICT Greening Up Initiative" project is a dynamic endeavor with a primary mission to drive the transformation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Start-ups within the ICT sector, predominantly based in the Burgas region, towards a sustainable, climate-neutral, circular, and zero-pollution operational model. Its overarching aim is to bolster these targeted businesses, fostering innovation and enhancing their competitiveness.

To achieve this, the project offers a comprehensive support system that includes training and skill development in crucial areas such as sustainable business models, green innovation, circular economy principles, and resource and energy efficiency. The Green Up Initiative not only imparts knowledge but also facilitates networking opportunities, effectively harnessing the potential of these companies to drive innovation and improve their competitive edge. The project''s focus is on tangible steps that establish a strong foundation for the green transition. It accomplishes this through information dissemination, knowledge sharing, best practice implementation, innovation facilitation, and extensive networking.

Achieving these goals require a series of key activities. These include:

- Capacity Building for sustainable transition

- Project Management

- Project Publicity

- Awareness Raising and Motivation

Although this project does not have a donor programme partner, the cluster IKT-Norge is in close communication throughout the project. This cooperation that was established through the project promises to further develop in the frame of the new EEA and Norway Grants period.
