Alpine Enterprise network to promote sustainability-oriented enterprises
Ten partners from all the alpine countries have set themselves the aim of establishing an alpine-wide network of small and medium-sized businesses as part of the NENA Project and promote sustainability-oriented enterprises. The NENA project stands for Network Enterprise Alps – Enhancing sustainable development, competitiveness and innovation through SME and cluster co-operation; it was approved at the end of February with a budget of €2.38 million from the EU Interreg IIIB Programme, and is to run until February 2008. The idea of an alpine-wide network of enterprises came about as part of the International Commission for the Protection of the Alps CIPRA’s Future in the Alps project.
