Boosting untapped green business development in public procurement in the Middle East and Asia

ended

GREENERG-PRO 'Boosting untapped green business development through public procurement in Asia and the Middle East' focuses on developing an internationalisation strategy and implementation roadmap for three partner clusters from Central and Eastern Europe in the sector of renewable energy and environmental technologies with the view of enhancing the skills of the partner clusters’ management and their members (SMEs) in the field of international public procurement and four target markets, namely Israel, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore. We will develop a tool for alerts and automatic digest/newsletter and we will set up a permanent joint technical department to provide technical support and assistance to members in the field of public procurement permanently. We will build the technical department upon the already existing joint internal workflow and permanent jointly developed services in internationalisation and access to third markets. We intend to develop a set of coherent activities structured in 5 WPs. Activities include trainings for both partner clusters and their members, surveys for needs assessment, benchmarking of ecosystems' organisations in public procurement, exploratory missions to the target countries, international webinars for B2B and B2P, trade missions with SMEs to target countries, and developing a guideline with best practices and lessons learned. The three partner clusters are founding members of COSMENERG-4i, the biggest EU strategic cluster partnership in the field of renewable energy and environmental technologies originating in Central and Eastern Europe. The project’s results will be sustained since the applicant partner clusters will embed the internationalization strategy and implementation roadmap and the new service into the already existing and jointly developed permanent internationalization services.
