ENTERPRISE EUROPE NETWORK
Offers support and advice to SME’s
across Europe
600 partner organisations in more
than 40 countries
EACI will help the Network deliver a
first class service to SMEs, and
manage projects and contracts
MARCO POLO
€430 million from 2007-13
Funds projects to get freight
traffic off the roads, using rail,
ships and river transport instead
Helps freight transport in Europe
become more energy efficient
Next call in early 2009
ECO-INNOVATION
€195 million from 2008-13
EACI to manage
“market replication projects”
Spotlight on SMEs + market
uptake of innovative technologies
and management
Next call in spring 2009
INTELLIGENT ENERGY EUROPE
€ 730 million from 2007-13
Promotes policies and favourable
market conditions for energy
efficiency and renewables
Eligible countries: EU-27 (+ NO, LI, IS,
Croatia)
>400 projects to date
Next call in early 2009
Creation of local / regional energy agencies
Public mission to serve local / regional
communities to improve energy
efficiency & make most of their
renewable energies
IEE helps to set up the operational
structure and an intelligent energy
work programme for 3 years.
Improve local / regional decision-making
Promote action by householders,
businesses (SMEs) and public sector
Create a critical mass of local activity
Change citizens’ behaviour
What is an Intelligent Energy Europe project ?
Promote intelligent energy with EU added value
At least 3 independent partners from different
countries (7-8 in practice)
Projects with 3 year maximum duration
Average project budget € 1,000,000
IEE supports up to 75% of eligible costs
Annual Work Programme
Market development, capacity building, institutional
change, regulatory shifts, promotion
No ‘hardware’ investments, No R&D
next Call : Spring 2009
IEE – a programme that helps SME’s
IEE addresses pioneers and multipliers.
IEE is a programme for targeted information dissemination.
Because of their high creativity and innovation potential, SME are
important carriers of know how (developers of new technologies
and services, pioneer users).
SME are important as disseminators of know-how.
IEE is a programme for (accelerated) capacity building.
SME have fewer resources and thus benefit more from targeted
information activities, new education and training schemes, etc.
IEE is a programme for the development of new markets.
SME are benefiting from market development activities.

CHANGE project (Sept 2008 – Sept 2010)
The CHANGE project helps SMEs to optimise their energy use by creating
“Intelligent energy contact points” (advisors) in 61 Chambers of Commerce and
Industry (CCIs) from 12 European countries.
CCI advisors will be provided with
training on energy efficiency and
application of renewable energy.
They will act as “first ports of call” for
SMEs in energy matters.
They will actively promote intelligent
energy among the business community
via websites, newsletter articles and
>11,000 information events.
They will facilitate energy pre-checks
and surveys for > 500 SME’s.
Example: ECODRIVEN
A Europe-wide campaign for
better driving carried out by
National Energy Agencies in 9
countries
A similar campaign carried out in
2004 in the Netherlands reduced
CO2 emissions between 97,000
and 222,000 tonnes
RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS
Electricity
Small scale applications
Heating and Cooling
200 PROJECTS
Biofuels
Local actions and Agencies
CHP / Cogeneration
SOLAR KEYMARK – II
Up to 50% of all glazed collectors are crossing national borders
– but different certification schemes create a trade barrier
STEPS
Clarify the trade barrier problems
Update Solar Keymark scheme rules
and create a CEN Keymark
Promote the scheme to business and
public authorities
RESULTS
Most EU countries accept Solar
Keymark in their certification schemes
40-50% of solar collectors sold in EU
now have Solar Keymark

CONCLUSIONS
Big challenge to tackle climate change by
reducing consumption of conventional energy
EU policy 20 : 20: 20
New EU Directive will set market framework
Concrete actions, investments needed
IEE is tackling market barriers, changing
markets (labelling, creating new market places),
easy access, changing behaviour, training,
certification of installers, products and systems
Important role for SMEs in tackling energy &
climate change!
