On April 16th, under GREENinMED framework, the Spain Chamber has launched a new Innovation Vouchers call that offers huge opportunities for Spanish tourism SMEs, particularly, after the impact of COVID-19.  
  
One of GREENinMED’s objectives is to reduce water and energy consumption levels by 10%, through new innovative products / services. To achieve this objective, the Chamber of Spain will publish a call to select 10 innovative SME companies, linked to tourism activity and belonging to the Spanish Mediterranean basin (Catalonia, Valencian Community, Balearic Islands, Region of Murcia and Andalusia). The first 5 valid applications will receive an Innovation Voucher, and the five remaining SMEs will be included on a waiting list to cover possible cancellations during the process of the Innovation Vouchers implementation. 
  
The Innovation Vouchers will offer advisory and support services to test or implement innovative solutions to the beneficiary SMEs, so that they will gain efficiency and effectiveness in water and energy management. These services will be provided by technological experts hired by the Chamber of Spain. The innovation vouchers are cofounded at 90% by ENICBCMED programme and at 10% by the Spain Chamber.  
  
Each innovation voucher - with a maximum budget of 2,000 euros (VAT not included) will cover the following services:  
  

• Analysis of water and energy consumption, and simulation of possible savings to be achieved with the implementation of new technological solutions.
