The main objective of the SUNROAD (Strategic Roadmap For a Solar Europe) project is the creation and implementation of a strategic plan of demand-oriented policies in photovoltaic energy to boost the commercialisation of new innovative products/services in this area.
CHALLENGE
The project will enable the drafting of a Strategic Plan and a plan for replication and implementation of measures in European regions. The regions selected to develop and implement this strategic plan are the following: Andalusia (Spain), Alsace-Lorraine (France) and Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony (Germany).
SOLUTION
To achieve this objective, an extensive and powerful network will be created, including the main key actors of the sector in these regions, both on the demand side (120 industries), on the supply side (60 universities/centres) and on the regulatory side (6 Regional Public Administrations) to establish and enhance the developed policy measures.
RESULTS
The ultimate goal is to improve European competitiveness by providing a technological edge to ensure the profitability of innovation in terms of economic growth and employment.
