In the challenging backdrop of the Adriatic tourism sector, SMEs struggle to balance environmental sustainability with market demands. The recent publication by Sistema Iniziative Locali - Sinloc SpA and Foundation Business Start-Up Center Bar highlights how the GreenSET Service Accelerator is pivotal in addressing these pressures. Through its MED Sustainable Service Innovation Methodology (MEDSSIM), GreenSET empowers Business Support Organizations (BSOs) to guide SMEs in transforming sustainability into concrete business gains.

This structured approach allows SMEs to optimize costs, enhance service quality, and improve market positioning, all while pursuing sustainable practices. The publication underscores a shift in the BSO's role from traditional consulting to strategic mentoring, ensuring that sustainability efforts are aligned with business performance consistently.

By redefining the support ecosystem, GreenSET enables a practical framework where SMEs can achieve sustainable growth. It also strengthens BSOs as reliable partners in this transformation journey.
