Unlocking economic competitiveness and environmental prosperity across Southeast Europe

About

Southeast Europe (SEE) is a region full of potential for cleantech innovation, but fragmented ecosystems, limited access to funding, and weak cross-border collaboration are holding back the scale-up of startups in the green transition. While EU funding is increasingly available, many cleantech startups in SEE struggle to access it efficiently or connect with investors, financial institutions, and policy frameworks tailored to their needs. 

Clean European Futures will act as a catalyst for cleantech innovation in SEE. Our launch project is Cleantech for SEE, a network of innovators from the region.
