Latin America: The AL-INVEST Verde programme starts in December

Al Invest is a flagship programme of the European Union (EU) with a history of 26 years. The sixth edition, called AL-INVEST Verde, has a stronger focus on actors from Europe and helps mobilise European know-how and investment. AL-INVEST Verde aims to promote sustainable growth and job creation by supporting the transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient and more circular economy in Latin America (LA). Strengthening trade between the EU and LA is also an objective. The main approach of component 1 is to fund innovative partnership projects between chambers, associations and think tanks in the EU and LA. Direct activities of the implementing consortium complement the twinning projects. The measures are designed to promote the transfer and use of resource-efficient and climate-friendly production technology through innovation and digitalisation at SME level, among other things. Component 1 will be implemented by sequa together with six international partners in the period from 1.12.2021 to 30.11.2025.
