The event allowed the public introduction of PAQGreen, the presentation of the project’s objectives and stakeholders’ awareness of the themes related to the Green Deal. Counting, in a first moment, with a brief presentation of the project, followed by a debate about funding opportunities for the AEC sector. The panel of notable speakers included Rita Moura (PTPC/ AEC Cluster), Francisco Sá (IAPMEI), António Lorena (3DRIVERS), Teresa Presas (Magellan Circle), Anabela Carvalho (ANI) and Paula Trindade (LNEG).
Improving the competitiveness of SMEs is a priority for this project, which seeks to qualify the AEC sector for the development of eco-innovations that enable new products and services that anticipate and respond to future demands. The actions to be developed will produce and disseminate the impacts of the Green Deal in the sector, anticipate and contribute to the definition of criteria for green public procurement and contribute to cooperation and coopetition between SMEs.
