INSME Annual Meeting : Unlocking Sustainable Finance for SMEs

October 14 , 8:00 am - November 15 , 5:00 pm

The 20th INSME Annual Meeting aims to explore the new dynamics of sustainable finance with a focus on ESG integration, considering their present and future impact on SMEs. The meeting will highlight the main obstacles SMEs face in adopting sustainable financial practices and the numerous opportunities that may arise from their implementation. The agenda of the event is rich and of utmost relevance to current discussions in policy and innovation. This event will bring together representatives from INSME members and key partners, experts on innovation and SMEs, and high-level speakers, that will be engaged in thought-provoking panels.

October 14th, during the afternoon sessions SUPERSHINE scientific coordinator  Dr. Paola Zerilli will chair The Twin Transition session. 

She will present SUPER-i and SUPERSHINE projects, the Public Private Partnership for both projects and analyze the PPPs involving SME’s for SUPERSHINE.

The twin transition encompasses the concurrent digital and green transformations necessary to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs. Achieving this requires SMEs to cultivate crucial digital competencies, including advanced digital literacy, proficiency in data analytics, sustainable operational practices, and innovation management capabilities. However, SMEs encounter several challenges such as constrained financial resources, limited access to cutting-edge technology and expertise, and the intricate challenge of integrating digital advancements with environmentally sustainable practices.

The panel will address the following issues:

  • How can SMEs harness the twin transition to improve their ESG performance?
  • What is a success story of positively leveraging ESG to tackle the twin transition?
