a new call for expressions of interest. The benefits of this certification This call aims to select the most promising projects to implement the ministerial division’s policies (climate plan, French mobility, E+C-, etc.), distinguished by their environmental ambition, feasibility, economic realism, and degree of innovation. It concerns all projects in the following areas: energy efficiency, renewable energy, risk management, sustainable buildings and cities, efficient and clean transportation, circular economy, health and environment, water and biodiversity, and green finance. It is a proven fact: even the best projects encounter difficulties, particularly in the start-up phase, in gaining the attention of decision-makers, investors, or buyers, particularly public ones. Awarded by a panel of experts from various ministerial departments, government agencies, and qualified individuals, this certification serves to attest to the seriousness and promising nature of the green innovation project that has resulted in an initial proof of concept.
The certification entitles winners to benefit, if they wish, from all or part of the support offered by the Ministry within the framework of GreenTech. A first selection process was conducted from June to September 2018. A second selection process is underway until March 20, 2019.
