Backing European SMEs

Featured in EU Researcher Magazine: Empowering SMEs for a sustainable energy future

We’re proud to share that our work has been featured in the latest issue of EU Researcher magazine, highlighting our shared commitment to helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Europe become more energy efficient and sustainable. The article showcases the progress made so far, from the groundwork laid during the first year of activities to the next steps in supporting SMEs on their energy management journey.

Readers will discover how the project partners are defining the framework for energy audits, collecting best practices, and preparing a comprehensive capacity-building programme that will launch in 2026. The feature also highlights the development of digital tools — including an e-learning platform and a dedicated Energy Management System — designed to help SMEs take practical steps towards smarter energy use.

With a focus on long-term impact, access to finance, and stakeholder engagement, the EU Researcher article captures our collective effort to empower businesses to reduce their energy consumption, cut costs, and contribute to a greener, more resilient Europe.
