Europe’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) stand at the forefront of the green transition – yet in many parts of the continent they are still missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: structured, accessible support to navigate their energy transformation.

This is where the SMEnergy project steps in. Funded by the Interreg Danube Region Programme, SMEnergy pilots one-stop shop (OSS) networks in countries and regions that currently lack them, acting as central hubs that offer SMEs practical guidance, expert services and a coordinated path towards energy efficiency and sustainability.

While some EU Member States are already benefiting from mature OSS infrastructures, others are just getting started – facing the challenge of building systems that are effective, scalable and adapted to local realities. The SMEnergy project brings these different starting points together and tests what really works in the Danube Region context.
