CINEA has launched a new Green Assist call to support SMEs developing sustainable investment projects across Europe. With a total budget of €3 million, the call provides tailored advisory services to help companies strengthen and scale green investment projects.
Selected SMEs can receive support from specialised experts on areas such as business strategy, financial structuring, environmental performance, and regulatory or technical challenges. The aim is to improve project maturity, reduce investment risks, and help companies attract financing for environmentally beneficial initiatives.
The call particularly encourages projects in the circular economy and bioeconomy sectors, while remaining open to other environmental investment areas covered by Green Assist.
Eligible applicants include SMEs established in EU-27 Member States and LIFE associated countries: Ukraine, Moldova, Iceland, North Macedonia and Montenegro. Interested companies are encouraged to contact their Enterprise Europe Network Sustainability Adviser for guidance and pre-screening before applying.
The call is open until 19 June 2026.
