By involving a broad range of associated partners from innovative start-ups and SMEs to incubators, big companies, ICT providers, deployment programmes and financers to local governments, ERA-Net SES builds bridges in the entire innovation chain and provides projects with valuable resources. Such resources may include expertise, tools, financial resources, or trial sites. Thus, research proposals which tackle real needs can be defined and RDD consortia can be confident that their results will be adopted. Accordingly, the quality and achieved impact of the funded RDD projects is multiplied. Entities from business domains beyond the energy sector are invited, e.g. municipal infrastructure, transport, trade and agriculture.
With the associated partners programme, ERA-Net Smart Energy Systems aims to foster the development of technology and business solutions that truly support energy efficiency and energy transition on a local and regional level while complementing and supporting the functionality of the overall energy system.
