The Ukrainian NGO Impact Force announces a tender for travel agency services for the Energy Efficiency Innovators of Ukraine programme.
The services will be provided within the framework of the Energy Efficiency Innovators of Ukraine programme, which aims to develop a new generation of forward-thinking leaders and create an inclusive ecosystem that will enable innovators in the energy sector to move Ukraine towards a sustainable and resilient future.
The Energy Efficiency Innovators of Ukraine programme is implemented by Impact Force with the support of the project Promoting Energy Efficiency and Implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive in Ukraine, implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Government and co-financed by the Swiss Government.
RELEVANCE.
According to the World Bank, the war in general and targeted strikes have taken a heavy toll on Ukraine’s energy sector. They have caused severe infrastructure damage, power outages, economic losses, security risks, and impede the country’s progress towards a sustainable energy future. Estimated damage is at least $1.2 billion, although the true extent of the destruction in areas under Russian control remains uncertain due to limited information.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVE
This initiative aims to identify energy efficiency market players and equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to bring about significant changes in the energy sector and the wider Ukrainian economy. The programme is not limited to traditional business education as it not only addresses the immediate business needs of the participants, but also develops a culture of sustainable and innovative energy solutions.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE PROGRAMME
- The Programme will be strengthened by a nationwide communication campaign to promote and highlight the needs and challenges of the energy sector.
- Under the Programme, we plan to implement the following activities to accelerate the transformation of Ukraine’s energy sector:
- Developing a stakeholder map of at least 50 key organisations and businesses from different sectors that offer or produce innovative energy solutions in Ukraine.
- Business needs assessment to identify and address the immediate, medium and long-term needs of stakeholders.
- Creating a network of innovative market players in the field of energy efficiency to lay a solid foundation for Ukraine’s sustainable energy future.
- Providing targeted expert advice and management assistance from top-notch international and national experts to improve the participants’ business plans and presentations, and thus increase their commercial attractiveness to national and international buyers.
- Organisation of a Demo Day, where 30 finalists will meet together and get to know international and national experts and potential buyers.
As a result, the Programme participants will launch energy-efficient recovery and market transformation processes. In addition, five companies will be selected to participate in the Impact Business Acceleration Programme.
