GREENOV
Project Update
There was a great reaction to the GREENOV Seminar that Codema held on 16th March in the Wood Quay Venue, Dublin City Council.
The seminar had a strong focus on clustering Irish SMEs for green renovation jobs both here and abroad. It also explored the barriers that currently exist for SMEs working in this sector and how these might be addressed. Case studies on successful cluster formation were also presented from European partner regions.
You can now download the following presentations that were given on the day:
- GREENOV – An Introduction, Charlotte Dessandier, New Town of Marne-la-Vallée, Val Maubuée
- GREENOV & the Irish Perspective: The Benefits of GREENOV for Ireland and how it can Increase Jobs for SMEs, Joe Hayden, Codema
- The Birth of Clusters, Shariat Rokneddin, Birmingham Chamber of Commerce & Industry
- Public Procurement – Utilising Innovation from the Public Sector, Simon Bradshaw, Enterprise Ireland
- Public Sector Procurement – the Dos and Don’ts for SMEs & the Economic Advantages of Clustering, Lionel McCarthy, Achilles Procurement Services

About the Project
The GREENOV project aims to develop the economic sector of sustainable renovation by stimulating innovation within small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across North-Western Europe.
GREENOV will create a European network of sustainable renovation suppliers and can offer the following benefits:
- Increase the competitiveness of SMEs in the field of sustainable renovation, including energy efficiency of buildings and renewable energy.
- Training and support services to innovative SMEs.
- Valuable information-exchange to improve the knowledge and expertise of sustainable renovation of existing buildings.
As part of the GREENOV project, Codema will carry out the following actions:
- Host a transnational panel of experts in Dublin on “Energy Efficiency of Buildings: Possibilities and Products”.
- Recruit appropriate SMEs to join the network through marketing, networking and events and short-list them for eco-innovation prizes.
- Develop a sustainable renovation electronic Supply Tender Portal.
As part of the project, Codema will also select a panel of experts in Ireland and - together with our European partners - will contribute to the build-up of an emerging North-West European belt of “green clusters” in the field of energy efficiency renovation, making it even stronger and sustainable in a context of high competitiveness of clusters at national, European and international levels.
The GREENOV project runs for five years and has received European Regional Development Funding through INTERREG IVB. It is hoped that GREENOV will help local contractors and suppliers to bid successfully on tenders for energy refurbishment works that are now open to competition from abroad.
The countries involved in this project are: Ireland, UK, Belgium, Netherlands, France and Germany.
