Through its activities, the project identifies vulnerabilities and dependencies in supply and production chains, promotes energy efficiency, and supports the development of sustainable solutions.

Over 200 SMEs from the seven partner countries will be analyzed, and based on the identified challenges, the project will produce reports, guides, and practical materials, as well as create contexts for cross-border experience sharing and learning.

Additionally, two funding calls will be launched to support 60 companies in adopting the green and digital transition:

• Factory Check-in: €10,000 grants for assessing and optimizing resource consumption
• Factory Transition: €50,000 grants for implementing sustainable digital technologies and solutions
