AEWEN Details
AEWEN (African-EU Water and Energy Network) is a COSME European project, whose aim is to develop and implement a joint internationalisation strategy to help European SMEs go international in three specific selected African countries, (Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia) and help respond to the African demand for green Energy and water solutions. The AEWEN Project will last 30 months, up to March 2024.Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia have been selected as the three target countries for the project because of their expected growth in the renewable energy sector and a good ranking in the World Bank's "Doing Business" 2020 study. Within this context, the AEWEN project integrates four well established European clusters specialised in complementary areas of energy and water. These four clusters have previous experience in international projects and share a common vision of internationalisation services to support their SMEs. The involved clusters are: Tenerrdis as coordinator of the project and based in Grenoble, France, ENVIRONMENT PARK based in Turin, Italy, the Catalan Water Partnership (CWP), based in Girona, Spain and Tweed based in Liège, Belgium. The previous track record, the activities carried out in Africa and the already existing connections in Africa give the clusters the needed experience to execute this new project. All together, they are involving more than 400 European SMEs.
