The EU Techbridge project matched North American based end-users looking for innovative water and energy solutions with innovative European SMEs. The partners were AVAESEN (ESP), CLEAN (DK), Lombardy Energy Cleantech Cluster (ITA), Sustainable Business Hub (SWE) and Water Alliance (NL). The EU-funded project, under the COSME programme, aimed to bridge innovative technologies developed in Europe to the US and Canadian markets. EU SMEs, as part of the project, had the opportunity to showcase their technologies that could fill a gap in the North American market and explore partnership opportunities for the future.
