The SEE BRIDGE project aims to strengthen the capacity of social economy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SE SMEs) operating in energy intensive industries, or in sectors that are part of upstream or downstream value chains in the energy-intensive industry ecosystem, such as aluminium, steel, iron and others, to transition to more resource efficient and energy saving processes and operations in adaptation to Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) legislation.
The objective of the SEE BRIDGE Open Call for Social Economy (SE) SMEs in the energy intensive industries is to:
●Support the green and digital transition of SE SMEs in energy-intensive industries, enabling them to easily adopt the CBAM regulation requirements.
●Support the SE SMEs in energy-intensive industries to achieve resource-efficient production and energy savings, through operational capacity-building activities.
●Enable SE SMEs in energy-intensive industries to find new financing for innovative solutions related to green and digital production.2
