During the 2nd period of the Alpine Space programme from 2008 to 2014 various projects have been dealing with low–carbon economy, energy efficiency and sustainable mobility. Dozens of enterprises have been involved in these projects and could prove their ability to develop and deploy innovative solutions in the field of energy efficiency and renewables as well as sustainable mobility. AlpEnMAT will capitalize on the experiences and results of these projects. It will especially foster existing SMEs in the Alpine Space to take benefit of the emerging age of renewable energies. It will bring together SMEs with buyers of energy technologies, municipalities and regions, institutional and private decision-makers as well as public and private financing institutions. In the Meetings on Advanced Technology they mutually promote each other, find partners and new market opportunities. Together they exploit and foster major strengths of the Alpine Space: farsightedness, inventiveness and stamina. Achievements: Management activities: reporting, controlling and communication structures including an internal work platform were set up to ensure a smooth project implementation. 3 web conferences and 2 transnational partner meetings in Germany and Austria were held, while the Steering Committee and its rules of procedure were defined. External communication: a corporate design for the AlpEnMAT project and Jam Bite brand as well as a media plan were developed; the project website and jam bite platform have been implemented and are now working. The website provides information on the course of the project while the platform is dedicated to SMEs and their stakeholders who want to join the events and/or promote themselves online. The platform services will be extended over the next months according to user needs. A desk research and SWOT analysis were carried out including an online survey; a study on networking of SMEs is finalised. According to these findings the jam bite event concept was developed.
