Looking for Green investment support? The 2026 GREEN ASSIST Call is open

Organisations developing sustainable and climate-focused projects now have the opportunity to access specialised advisory support through the newly launched 2026 Call for Projects Requesting Advisory Services under GREEN ASSIST.

The initiative, managed by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency under the European Commission, is designed to help environmentally sustainable projects improve their technical, financial, and organisational readiness for investment and implementation.

What is GREEN ASSIST?

GREEN ASSIST provides tailored advisory services to projects contributing to environmental sustainability, climate resilience, circular economy, biodiversity, pollution reduction, and broader EU Green Deal objectives.

The programme aims to support project promoters that may need additional expertise to strengthen project preparation, increase investment readiness, or overco

me technical and financial barriers.

Selected projects can receive support in areas such as:

• Business and financial planning;

• Investment and funding strategies;

• Technical project development;

• Sustainability and environmental impact approaches;

• Governance and implementation planning.

Who can benefit?

The call is relevant for a wide range of organisations and stakeholders working on sustainable development and green transition initiatives, including:

• SMEs and startups;

• Public authorities and municipalities;

• NGOs and non-profit organisations;

• Infrastructure and environmental projects;

• Innovation initiatives contributing to climate and sustainability goals.

Projects from sectors such as renewable energy, circular economy, sustainable agriculture, green infrastructure, biodiversity, sustainable mobility, and resource efficiency are especially encouraged to apply.

Why this opportunity matters

Many impactful green projects struggle to move from concept to implementation due to limited access to technical expertise, investment preparation, or strategic advisory support.

GREEN ASSIST helps bridge this gap by providing expert guidance that can improve project quality, strengthen financing opportunities, and accelerate sustainable innovation across Europe.

This strongly aligns with Agriventures’ commitment to supporting sustainable entrepreneurship, innovation ecosystems, and environmentally responsible development.
