Under the Low Carbon Business Action Project in Brazil and in line with the "All About Energy" event, the application period for the Matchmaking Mission in "Renewable Energies - Production and Consumption - Photovoltaic Solar, Biomass and Wind" is open until August 13. Sponsored by the European Union, the event will take place in Fortaleza, Brazil, between October 3 and 6.

The applications are aimed at small and medium-sized European companies dedicated to the adoption of low carbon technologies and energy efficiency interested in forming partnerships with Brazilian companies in order to make available technologies, processes and services to the country's market.

In the context of Low Carbon Business Action in Brazil, Matchmaking sessions have been held between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and technology suppliers in key sectors and in various locations in Brazil and the European Union. These should result in commitments for the set-up of strategic commercial cooperation relations to be established through concrete partnership and cooperation agreements.

In case you are interested in participating in this Renewable Energy Mission, we ask you to respond to this application and also to share this information with all the potential beneficiary companies of the Action, through the authorized channels of your institutional network and through Sectoral organizations.

The companies selected for this purpose will have 80% of the travel and accommodation costs covered by the European Union Action.

THE MAIN FIELDS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND TECHNOLOGIES OF ACTION:

In order to deepen the potential of Matchmaking between Brazilian and European counterparts, the organization of the Low Carbon Business Action delimited the scope of cooperation, thus identifying the concrete possibilities of exchanging technologies, applications and services.
Among the main domains of opportunities and technologies to be considered, the following stand out:

• FV Solar Energy
• Eolic Energy
• Biomass

The Matchmaking Mission "Renewable Energies - Production and Consumption" has the support of Sebrae (Brazilian Service to Support Micro and Small Companies) and Renewable Energy Internationalization, a project of ESCP for Small and Medium Enterprises Europe Network (EEN / IBICT).

This initiative is part of the Low Carbon Business Action project and is one of the implementation actions promoted through the partnership instrument that operationalizes the Joint Action Plan -III (2015-2017) within the framework of the Brazil / European Union Strategic Partnership.

Also counting on European Union funding, the Low Carbon Business Action project is implemented by an international consortium with the collaboration of CESO. The project purpose is to contribute to sustainable development and reduce the environmental impacts of Brazilian industries through the adoption of low carbon and energy efficiency technologies in target sectors.
