Call for accreditation of STAGE consultants
STAGE focuses on the transformation of SMEs into sustainable, agile and green enterprises. The EU-funded project is seeking external consultants to accredit them as STAGE service providers for SMEs. These services are project-funded and are geared towards producing sustainability reports and preparing SMEs for investment.
Who can participate?
Industry or financial expert mentors and consultants with competence in sustainability and finance.
Development of the project
During a competitive process, five phases will be carried out and up to 100 SMEs will be selected for the guidance services. Up to 50,000 euro will be provided per SME to cover the costs of these services, which must be provided by consultants accredited in the programme.
Advantages of being a STAGE mentor
- Once approved, it will become part of a Europe-wide ecosystem which will give you the opportunity to connect with new customers.
- You will have free access to leading-edge financial and sustainability assessment tools that you can use in your interactions with customers.
- As an advisor, you will have the opportunity to participate in free courses and workshops on innovation and sustainability, improve your knowledge and obtain certification.
- You will be assigned clients from a wide range of industrial SMEs and guided through the STAGE process.
- Consultants will be able to benefit directly from STAGE grants, as the companies selected will use these vouchers to pay for expert services.
