The meetMED Finance Navigator is a comprehensive web-based tool designed to help individuals, SMEs, and local communities acting as project developers or owners identify financing options for energy efficiency investments in their countries.
Key Features
- Extensive Database: The tool currently includes a thorough list of 21 National Funds, Local Financial Funds, International Funds, and International Financial Institutions (IFIs), along with 36 Financing Mechanisms across 8 countries. As new funds and financing mechanisms emerge, they will be promptly added to the database.
- User-Friendly Search Tools: Project developers can swiftly identify the financing mechanism that best suits their needs by inputting responses to 1 to 10 criteria. This streamlined process allows for quick narrowing down of options.
- Convenient Access to Information: Once users find the right financing mechanism, all necessary details are presented on a single page. Information can be easily downloaded as a PDF, saved via QR code, or used to directly contact the financing mechanism through the platform.
- Real-Time Updates: The platform maintains an up-to-date database, indicating the status of funds or financial mechanisms—whether they are active, pending launch, on hold, or completed. This feature emphasizes the importance of regular consultation with relevant sources.
The meetMED Finance Navigator is part of meetMED project initiatives, supported by the European Union, aimed at developing bankable energy efficiency projects. By simplifying access to financing options, it empowers users to make informed decisions for sustainable energy investments. This project is developed in collaboration with the Mediterranean Association of the National Agencies for Energy Management (MEDENER) and the Regional Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE).
