For the Alpine Space small scale call for proposals we developed a project idea that is focusing on creating a governance model for promoting green investments and improving the capacities of rural local communities for green investments and the creation of green financial instruments on the basis of enhanced transnational cooperation, the transfer of knowledge and approaches, which will be made possible by the establishment and operation of a cross-border network for the cooperation of local communities , financial institutions, investors and civil society.

We are also willing to join project consortiums in the role of the project partner.
