The LEAP4SME project begins

LEAP4SME is aiming to support Member States in establishing or improving effective policies for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to undergo energy audits and implement cost-effective, recommended energy-saving measures.
Over the past 8 months, the 10 LEAP4SME partners have finalised project preparations and initiated research activities – all working towards the goal of helping make Europe more energy efficient.
 

We are online!

The project website and social media channels launched in 2020 and are the places to go for updates about the project and for news about energy efficiency in Europe.
