ZABALA Innovation Consulting will present the SMARTSPEND project’s last two reports at the Workshop ‘Financing Clean Energy Transition in the Context of EU Recovery’
29th September 2020 – SMARTSPEND’s project partner, Luca Pira, from ZABALA Innovation Consulting, will present tomorrow, 30 September 2020, the ‘Mapping report on funding Instruments for energy innovation’ and the report on ‘Industry’s funding needs for the implementation of the SET Plan’ at the SMARTSPEND online workshop ‘Financing Clean Energy transition in the Context of EU Recovery’.
Both reports aim at supporting the coordination of the industrial participation in the SET Plan. In particular, they contribute to the involvement of the industry-driven associations and initiatives such as the European Technology and Innovation Platforms (ETIPs), the European Joint Technology Initiatives or other relevant public-private partnerships, and importantly the industrial actors.

For this report, the authors identified industrial stakeholders from 11 sectors of the SET Plan implementation plans, covering: Materials, Bioenergy, Photovoltaics, Deep Geothermal, Energy Storage, Energy-efficient Buildings, Energy-efficient industry, Renewable Heating and Cooling, Ocean, Smart Networks, Wind.
The document provides a series of conclusions based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the industry’s experience on funding mechanisms and entities including main constraints (bureaucratic, administrative, legal) which can compromise the regular execution of R&I activities and implementation of the SET Plan.
