LONETA is designed to create a reciprocal and self-sustainable partnership between Puglia, Albania and Montenegro, contributing to the 2050 Strategy for a Climate Neutral Europe and to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, by fostering early-stage and pilot investments on Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) in the programmed area. The project’s main result will be that of enhancing the green-tech SMEs and start-up competitiveness in Puglia, Albania and Montenegro and attracting enterprises, investors and innovators from outside the programmed area. The result will be achieved by LONETA’s main output, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The Memorandum will constitute a conclusive document, which will help creating the economic and industrial condition for the local take-up of an emerging and disruptive technology. This will constitute the first structured multi-actor agreement on NETs in the South Adriatic area and the first to be undertaken in an interregional context in Europe.
The targets groups and stakeholders involved will be from local and public authorities, regional public authorities, sectoral agencies, interest groups including NGOs, higher education and research, business support organisation, SMEs.
18 months from 01/10/2020 to 31/03/2022
General objectives
The project objective is to enhance the administrative, industrial and technical framework conditions for the development of new cross-border green market niches in the programme areas (and beyond). The expected output of the project will be the creation of the first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the NETs in the South Adriatic, signed by all the entities engaged during the project’s implementation, and involving the following target groups: local public authority; regional public authority; sectoral agencies; interest groups including NGOs; higher education and research actors; SMEs; business support organisation. The MoU aims at creating the economic and industrial condition for the local take-up of an emerging and disruptive technology.
