The SEE BRIDGE project consortium, in which FEUGA is actively involved in several tasks, has announced the launch of its Open Call, a pioneering open call aimed at SMEs and social economy start-ups operating in energy-intensive industries and their value chains. This initiative is aimed at entities based in EU Member States, European Economic Area countries and associated countries.
The main objective of this call is to provide financial support and resources for these companies to move towards greener and more digital operations, increasing their competitiveness and impact.
Eligible Galician entities will be able to benefit from a series of fundable activities, such as:
- Business support services.
- Consulting services for certification or labeling assets, including intellectual property rights and carbon audits.
- Participation in events focused on the new CBAM regulation and on issues related to the digital and ecological transition.
- In-company training on these topics.
Successful applicants will receive a grant of between €4,000 and €8,000 to carry out the proposed activities. In addition to financial support to successful applicants, the entities that have responded to the open call will receive a tailor-made acceleration program focused on project management, networking, business plan development and market research to improve operational efficiency and sustainable practices, as well as the opportunity to get in touch with experts and practitioners by participating in SEE BRIDGE events.
Submission of proposals will be open from July 1 until October 1 (17:00 CET) and must be made in English through the F6S platform, one of the project partners. The full procedure is described on the project website and in the Guidelines for Applicants. To further support applicants, two public online webinars with Q&A sessions will be organized, where participants will be able to solve their doubts about the SEE BRIDGE project, the open call and the application process.
All details about the SEE BRIDGE open call are available on the project website. You can also follow their social networks: LinkedIn and Facebook, to get more information about the project and the call.
