Activities

1. Broadband Development

2. Energy Efficiency

3. Youth Support

1. Broadband Development

Quality infrastructure is the key element for the development

of the regions in order to attract investors, entrepreneurs and

also to improve the quality of life of citizens. Broadband is

such a kind of the infrastructure which has, especially in the

South East European rural areas, significant gaps in the

coverage, capacity and quality.

As private as well as a public sector alone cannot solve the

Broadband gap in the South East European rural areas, there is

the opportunity to establish successful cooperation between

Public and Private Partners. PPP4Broadband project

partnership aims to improve Broadband coverage in the South

East European rural areas by Public-Private Partnership.

AIEC is a lead partner of the PPP4Broadband that researches 9

PPP models tackling Basic, NGA and Ultra-fast broadband. In

each participating country there will be established

PPP4Broadband National Centre of Excellence with role to

provide knowledge, experience, guidance (using developed PPP

Models) and standardization. Network of PPP4Broadband

Centres of Excellence will be established in order to assure the

quality and availability of services also after the project

closure.

2. Energy EfficiencyTo improve the European competitiveness, the reduction of

energy costs is a strategic point. Energy efficiency in the

industrial processes allows to obtain the reduction of primary

energy consumption, to the mitigation of greenhouse gas

emissions and to improve the strength on the market.

The 2006/32/EC highlights the role of the Member States to

ensure the availability of efficient energy audit schemes,

designed to identify potential energy efficiency measures,

applied to all end consumers, including Small and Medium

Enterprises (SMEs). But while several efforts have been made on

the front of standardization for building auditing and to energy

certification for building, the industrial audit for SMEs still

needs a specific scheme and tools. Involving partners from 5

European countries, LiCEA partnership aims to find results

useful for SMEs located in Central Europe territory.

Energy efficiency in SMES is going to be reached through so

called LiCEA project (Life Cycle based Energy Audit). The goal of

this project, where AIEC is one of 6 partners carrying out the

activity in Slovakia, is to develop and apply smart LiCEA tool

allowing the discovery of numerous unexploited energy saving

opportunities along the supply chain of SMEs.

3. Youth Support

www.aiec-ngo.eu

AIEC recognizes the potential of young people

as one of the key driven forces of development,

bringing to regions high innovations potential.

AIEC works on several activities targeting young

innovators and youth in general.
