Evaluation Consultancy Services – Evaluation Of The “Export Initiative Environmental Protection” Funding Program Of The Federal Ministry For The Environment, Climate Protection, Nature Conservation And Nuclear Safety (2020 To 2025). Environmental Innovations And Climate Technologies Are Central Pillars Of German Industry And Medium-Sized Businesses. With The “Export Initiative For Environmental Protection” (Exi For Short), The Federal Ministry For The Environment, Climate Protection, Nature Conservation And Nuclear Safety (Bmukn) Has Been Supporting German Clean And Green Tech Smes Since 2016 In Projects That Support The Transfer Of Know-How And The Application Of German Environmental Protection And Resource Efficiency Technologies Worldwide. Global Environmental And Climate Protection Can Only Be Achieved If The Necessary Infrastructure And Legal, Political And Administrative Framework Are In Place. The Funding Program Strengthens The German Clean And Green Tech Industry (Mainly Smes) In Implementing Sustainable Technical Solutions To Environmental Problems Worldwide Together With Local Partners. As An Environmental Program With A Clear Economic Focus, It Promotes Investment Projects In The Areas Of: • Circular And Resource Management • Water And Wastewater Technology • Off-Grid Green Hydrogen And Fuel Cell Technologies And • Innovative Cross-Sectional Technologies For Its Tenth Anniversary, Exi Has Recorded Over 200 Projects With “Greentech Made In Germany” In Around 100 Developing And Emerging Countries And A Funding Volume Of 82 Million Euros. With Its Environmental Focus And Its Comparatively Flexible Support Profile, Exi Creates A Connection Between The Area Of ​​Development Cooperation And Classic Export Promotion In The Federal Funding Context.
