Green Transition projects

The green transition is creating an urgent need for new competences, workforce adaptation, and SME-oriented capacity building across Europe. In this context, GCC aims to contribute its practical experience in supporting companies, workforce development, and ecosystem-level green transformation initiatives.

Our institution has been actively working on strengthening SMEs’ readiness for sustainability-oriented transformation processes, particularly in areas such as carbon management, circular economy practices, sustainable business models, and green skills development.

GCC is interested in joining a consortium under HORIZON-CL2-2026-01-TRANSFO-07: Fostering competences for the green transition as an active project partner. We are looking to cooperate with experienced consortium leaders, research institutions, VET providers, universities, public authorities, and ecosystem actors developing innovative approaches for green competences, reskilling, and future-oriented labour market adaptation.
