FINTECC programme to increase efficiency of local businesses with new technologies

Ukraine has become the newest member of the EBRDs Finance and Technology Transfer Centre for Climate Change (FINTECC) programme designed to transfer technology in the area of climate change mitigation and adaptation. As a result, companies are expected to become more resource efficient and should significantly reduce their energy-related costs.
Terry McCallion, Director of the EBRDs Energy Efficiency and Climate Change team, said: “There is an increasing demand in Ukraine for cost-effective energy efficiency solutions. With FINTECC we are hoping to help a range of businesses in Ukraine to achieve cost and environmental savings through the installation of the right technologies.”
Walter Tretton, Head of Energy, Climate, Transport and Environment section at the EU Delegation to Ukraine, stated, “I welcome the launch of FINTECC in Ukraine. It fits perfectly into the European Unions overall assistance to Ukraine which aims to enable Ukraine, and the Ukrainian economy, to become less energy intensive and more climate-friendly.”
Grants available under FINTECC will help to understand the technical and financial feasibility of implementing climate technologies and help conduct the necessary research, certification, testing and registration of modern energy efficient solutions in Ukraine.
