Sustainable Business Funding in France: Grants and Loans 💵 We have prepared a list of grants available in France that support small and medium businesses on their green journey. 🌳 ADEME Grants The French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) is an organization that supports environmental transition and is owned by the French government.  ADEME has numerous initiatives, including the “Circular Economy and Waste” program. This program might be interesting to used device businesses as it aims to optimize resources and limit waste. It also supports various companies, including small local ones, on their green journey. 🌳 NRRP Grants The French Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) is a major strategy developed in 2020 to address issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan distributes the budget into 73 streams, with a total funding of €40.3 billion. Used device businesses might benefit from the “Digital transition” initiative. It supports small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in implementing digital technologies. €8.7 billion, or 21.6% of the plan, will be spent on this initiative. 🌳 ERDF Grants The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is an international organization supporting SMEs in transitioning to a greener, more inclusive, and more efficient future.  The conditions of programs depend on the region. For example, in Île-de-France, ERDF invests €92 million in digitalization and SME development and €85 million in ecological transition and support for the circular economy. 🌳 France Num Grants  France Num helps SMEs, and very small enterprises (VSEs) digitalize. Regarding financial support, France Num provides subsidies that can be spent on purchasing innovative digital equipment. Grant requirements include co-financing from the company: France Num finances 50% of the purchase. Additionally, the project should last at least two years. 🌳 JTF Grants  The Just Transition Fund (JTF) was created by the European Union to help businesses transition to a climate-neutral economy. It provides help in various regions across Europe that depend most on fossil fuels.  JTF assists companies financially in achieving carbon neutrality. Several types of funding are available, such as non-repayable grants and co-financing. The program’s overall budget is €19.2 billion for 2021-2027.

☀️🌍☀️ It’s gone beyond science-fiction! Just launched, this ENGIE video explains a European Space Agency - ESA study #SOLARIS - using space-based mirrors to reflect sunlight to increase earth’s solar power ! Capturing solar energy in space and sending it back to earth, targeting large solar farms with full levels of sunlight from dawn to dusk, really is an “out-of-this-world” concept. And one that we’re fully behind. The proposal and pre-feasibility (technical/economic/ecological) studies by consortium leader Arthur D. Little; partnered by ENGIE Research & Innovation (represented by Laborelec), Air Liquide, Thales France, and Dassault Aviation, have been more than well received. Our role in that has been consulting key stakeholders; solar farm operators, transmission system operators and energy users in the industry, to assess the viability and acceptance of the proposal; with inputs leading to multiple optimizations of the solution. As Laborelec project manager Aurélie MORIN DURAND, “The proposed solution is based on, and builds on, mature, proven technologies already understood. Of course, there are a number of challenges still to be addressed... but we’re all excited to investigate how to bring this to scale in a viable way.” Bottom line, if you want to know more WATCH the video – and obviously watch this space! https://lnkd.in/efBMEYgB

[Event] 📅 Today is the first day of Viva Technology! Come and meet the SiPearl team Hall1, at the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) booth C21. 😃 Christophe Menard, Christophe Ballan, Jean-Yves Quentel, Marie-Anne Garigue and Grégory BOSSON are present at the booth today. #SiPearl is building the European high-performance low-power microprocessor dedicated to #supercomputing and #AI inference. This new generation of #microprocessors will first target EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) ecosystem, which is deploying world-class supercomputing infrastructures in Europe for solving major challenges in medical research, security, energy management and climate with a reduced environmental footprint. SiPearl is working in close collaboration with its 30 partners from the European Processor Initiative consortium - leading names from the scientific community, supercomputing centres and industry - which are its stakeholders, future clients and end-users. SiPearl employs more than 190 people in France (Maisons-Laffitte, Grenoble, Massy, Sophia Antipolis), Italy (Bologna), Germany (Duisburg) and Spain (Barcelona). #semiconductor #europeantech #frenchtech #cpu #processor #exascale

🌞 The Future of Solar Energy in Rennes Métropole! 🌞 Coopterr, the territorial cooperation platform for Rennes Métropole, has launched its Solar Cadastre application. This innovative tool allows citizens to easily assess the photovoltaic potential of their homes, visualizing their roofs in 3D and estimating solar energy production. Developed by Camptocamp, the user-friendly application combines complex geodata and a user-centered design to provide an intuitive experience. 🔗 Click the link to read the full article from our colleague Pierre LAULHE and see how 3D technology is revolutionizing solar energy assessment in Rennes Métropole ➡ https://lnkd.in/e2B4cXSZ #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SmartCities #OpenSource

I dont understand why we dont have more of these plants in Denmark. The Dall Energy plant is almost Co2 neutral and those plants operational in Denmark have some of the lowest heat prices since most of the fuel is freely available garden waste.
