Renewable energy SMEs in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Sweden have strong expertise in fields like hydrogen, solar, energy storage, and smart grids. However, they operate in fragmented markets and lack the scale, visibility, and resources to compete in non‑EU markets. Individually, they face barriers such as certification, financing, limited networks, and low international visibility.
RenEx addresses this by helping SMEs build cross-border value chains and joint export offers. The project connects complementary companies, provides training and advisory support, and enables development of integrated energy solutions.
Through matchmaking, joint branding, trade missions, and a digital showcase platform, RenEx strengthens export readiness and visibility. As a result, SMEs can expand exports, build long-term cooperation, and contribute to global sustainable energy deployment.
RenEx is expected to create functional cross-border renewable energy value chains that enable SMEs from the Central Baltic region to jointly enter non-EU markets with integrated export offers. Through competence mapping, matchmaking, training, and trade missions, SMEs will strengthen their export readiness, improve international visibility, and develop practical cooperation models that combine complementary technologies and services.
The project will lead to concrete export results, including new business contacts, pilot projects, and achieved sales in target markets. SMEs will benefit from shared branding, a digital showcase platform, and long-term cooperation structures that continue beyond the project lifetime.
The positive impact of RenEx will extend across borders by connecting companies from Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Sweden into durable partnerships that increase the competitiveness of the entire Central Baltic region. By accelerating the international deployment of renewable energy solutions such as hydrogen, solar, energy storage, and smart energy systems, the project will contribute to the global green transition while strengthening economic growth, innovation, and resilience in the region.
