About the SMEnergy Project

Europe’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stand at the forefront of the green transition — but many still lack structured, accessible support to navigate their energy transformation.

The SMEnergy project, funded by the Interreg Danube Region Programme, is piloting one-stop-shop (OSS) networks in countries and regions that lack them. These OSS models serve as central hubs, offering SMEs practical guidance, expert services, and a coordinated path toward energy efficiency and sustainability.

While some EU member states benefit from advanced OSS infrastructures, others face the challenge of creating scalable, locally relevant systems from the ground up.
