The COMMIT project, co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg Europe programme, is designed to support local and regional authorities in assisting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their transition to a low-carbon economy. Led by the Energy Agency of the Savinjska, Šaleška and Koroška Region, the initiative focuses on improving SME access in four key areas: information and knowledge, innovation and technology, finance, and skills. It also promotes clean technologies, job retention, and regional equity. Running from April 2024 to June 2028, the project aims to deliver tailored policy improvements, strengthen local support ecosystems, and reduce carbon leakage through collaborative, place-based strategies.
