Sustainable Innovations Europe

Sustainable Innovations Europe (SIE) is a Spanish SME participating in European research and innovation projects, with expertise in communication, dissemination, exploitation and stakeholder engagement. We collaborate with universities, research centres, start-ups and established companies to connect scientific and technological advances with potential users, industry and policymakers, supporting the uptake of sustainable innovations. As consortium partner, SIE contributes to the design and implementation of communication and dissemination strategies, stakeholder engagement activities and exploitation plans. We help identify key exploitable results, explore pathways for their use, and develop business models and market uptake strategies where relevant. Our contribution focuses on making project results accessible, useful and actionable beyond the research community and the project’s lifetime.

We engage from the proposal development stage, working alongside coordinators and partners to define our contribution and integrate communication, dissemination and exploitation into the project’s objectives, work plan and impact pathways. We also bring experience in project administration and financial management, supporting collaborative project delivery. In addition to our participation as a project partner, SIE provides specialised European R&I proposal preparation, including concept development, proposal writing and review, and alignment with topic requirements and evaluation criteria.
