ACTIVITIES
The transnational and cross-sectoral schemes that will support SMEs foreseen by TOURISME are based on capacity building, knowledge transfer and scaling-up of activities for sustainable growth as well as enabling the uptake of sustainable solutions and access to certifications. This will be achieved through 3 core supporting activities, based on the specific needs of each SME:
- Face-to-face and online capacity building trainings and mentoring on different topics, such as energy efficiency, resources consumption, circular solutions, waste management, eco-design, green procurement, mobility or social innovation;
- Matchmaking SMEs to create synergies business-to-business (B2B) which will facilitate the exchange of good practices among SMEs and technology and sustainable solutions providers;
- Facilitating access to environmental certifications, in particular promoting environmental certifications and other EC initiatives, such as EMAS, EU eco-label, ETIS or EDEN.
ACR+’s main role on the project is being the partner responsible for the project’s communication and dissemination activities. This implies primarily building an audience for receiving news and updates on a regular basis through social media, newsletter and press releases as well as key outputs, milestones achieved and events to be held among others, through various dissemination activities.
ACR+ will also support other technical partners in creating an outreach campaign for recruiting interested SMEs for the capacity building activities as well as assisting in the identification of existing good practices in the field.
