Third call for CrossRoads2 Sustainable Energy
It isn’t always easy for small and medium-sized enterprises to set up cross-border innovative projects on energy and climate. The EU provides financial resources through various programmes to make this possible. CrossRoads2 Sustainable Energy is one such example.
CrossRoads2 Sustainable Energy is part of the European programme Interreg Flanders-the Netherlands and aims to encourage partnerships between SMEs in Flanders and the Southern Netherlands. The focus is on innovation projects around energy contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions in the border region.
The new call of CrossRoads2 Sustainable Energy will launch on 1 April 2021. The total subsidy budget for this call is €1,543,760. With this budget, about ten projects can be supported. The subsidy rate is 50%, with a maximum of €150,000 per innovation project.
