EUROPEAN PROJECTS ➤ HORIZON 2020 ➤ SMAFIN “Smart Financing Implementation for Energy Efficient Balkan Buildings”

The H2020 SMAFIN project is setting up the prosperous ground to connect smart financing with energy efficient Balkan buildings’ renovation and to create a complete roundtable methodology.

Following the Sustainable Energy Investment Forums’ past and fruitful experience, SMAFIN is planning the upcoming 3 years to organize 12 national roundtables in the project’s 4 participating Balkan countries – Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania – in order to bring together EU policy makers, national and local authorities, financial, enterprise, construction and academic sector and facilitate thoroughly energy efficiency investments in renovation.

The national roundtables will encourage structural dialogue with key stakeholders that will define barriers for wider investments and promote the use of energy efficient financing according to national priorities and opportunities. The roundtables will be constantly supported by established Working Groups that will endorse available financial schemes and tools and by a facilitating platform that will assist in the dissemination of news, initiatives and in upscaling existing best practices in the field of smart financing in buildings’ renovation. SMAFIN will also focus on reinforcing energy efficiency investments by contributing to the development of national recommendations for effective policy measures or financial frameworks at national and European level.
