Project Summary: 

Interreg MED SYNGGI is the first phase of the Horizontal Project in the “Green Growth axis” of the transnational European Cooperation Programme for the Mediterranean area, the Interreg MED Programme. SYNGGI project was designed as an agile tool that unified 14 project results, provided support to Mediterranean stakeholders and created a fruitful and collaborative environment for all implicated bodies. Its main objective was to build the basis of a community network, supporting communication and capitalisation activities, that helped all MED and extra-MED area stakeholders’ to take advantage of the experience and the results done during projects’ implementation and after their completion. This project acted as a dynamic network between innovative projects focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste management-recycling, smart cities and eco–innovation in order to strengthen innovation capacities of public and private actors of Mediterranean regions, giving them a transnational dimension in line with the targets and strategies of the Managing Authorities for the Mediterranean Area. 

Interreg MED SYNGGI project was coordinated by the BETA Technological Centre and counted with a total of 5 partners from 4 countries (Spain, Italy, Greece and Albania).
