Take the chance to implement your ideas in
environmental technology!

Today, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety launched the call for the export initiative for environmental technology “Exportinitiative Umwelttechnologien”. The call has a volume of five million euros in total.

You can apply when your organisation is based in Germany and works on environmental issues abroad. The initiative aims to fund inter alia projects that work on

• circular economy,
• mobility
• or sustainable and eco-friendly regional infrastructure.

The initiative plans to support specifically urbanisation partnerships and international smart city projects. Further, it aims to support the application of environmental protections standards worldwide. We would highly appreciate you participating in the call. However, it’s advisable to apply together. We would suggest that you get in touch with us to coordinate your application. We’re happy to support your ideas.
