Description
This project addresses the pressing need for SMEs to transition to more sustainable practices, aligning with the European Green Deal''s vision of a climate-neutral economy by 2050. SMEs often face resource limitations and barriers that hinder their progress toward sustainable growth. While funding sources and grant support exist for innovative green solutions, SMEs struggle due to their limited innovation capacity. The project''s primary objective is to empower BRCCI to enhance the competence of its member SMEs in the realm of Green Industry Innovation. It aims to achieve this by identifying and presenting practical, ready-to-use solutions applicable to Bulgarian SMEs and facilitating experience exchange between Bulgarian and Norwegian companies. The project team seeks to spotlight exemplary, readily deployable innovative solutions that enhance operational performance while prioritizing environmental sustainability.
The project primarily targets Bulgarian SMEs in the private sector, with BRCCI boasting a network of 85 corporate members, the majority being SMEs. The project''s impact extends to an even broader audience of around 800 companies through BRCCI''s networking activities. These companies, the majority of which are SMEs, stand to gain valuable insights from the project''s outcomes, benefiting from the knowledge and practices shared during its implementation.
This projects includes a variety of key activities:
- Study of Green Industry Innovation solutions
- Study visit for Bulgarian SMEs to Norway

BRCCI drives Green Industry transformation, seeking Norwegian expertise to boost SME growth. The project fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange, benefitting SMEs beyond green innovations. Match-making forums and networking functions facilitate valuable business connections.
