Building on the results of 7 EU-funded projects: DEESME, E2DRIVER, INNOVEAS, SMEmPOWER, SPEEDIER, ICCEE and Triple-A, this event, part of the European Sustainable Energy Week extended programme, will provide guidelines and good practices to implement energy efficiency solutions and facilitate the energy transition.

SMEs have a high untapped energy saving potential which can be unlocked by overcoming structural, market and financial barriers. Industry stakeholders, policy makers, financial institutions, ESCOs, academia/research, energy professionals and other attendees will therefore hear about available services, tools and policies that can unlock considerable amounts of energy/cost savings and assist in achieving emission targets.

This session focuses on three key aspects of energy efficiency improvements in SMEs around Europe:

1. Barriers and opportunities in implementing energy efficiency solutions,
2. Best practices and case studies, such as trainings, tools, services etc.,
3. Policies to enhance the implementation of energy efficiency measures in SMEs in the upcoming years.
