National partner
As innovative companies are more competitive, resilient and attractive for high-quality employment, the Construction Cluster of Slovenia (Slovenski Gradbeni Grozd, SGG CCS) supports its members, often small and micro enterprises, in their development by focusing on four priority areas:
- innovation and new business models
- the circular economy
- digitalisation
- international cooperation and internationalisation
Established in 2004, SGG CCS is strongly involved in the European and global community of clusters and innovation ecosystems. Circular activities, economic transition and attracting investment in green and sustainable construction are its main remits.
The International Circular Construction Cluster is an initiative led by the Construction Cluster of Slovenia to make the sector more sustainable by creating a global market for circular construction.
The national recovery plan
Renovate2Recover country profile (2021)
In 2021 we looked at how each national recovery plan funded building renovation. The Renovate2Recover study found significant renovation activity planned, and called for two things: funding that delivers deep (or staged deep) renovations, going well beyond the 30% minimum energy saving recommended by the European Commission, and an enabling framework, including private finance, so that renovation markets keep growing after the recovery funding ends in 2026.
The Slovenian profile comes from the study commissioned by the Renovate Europe Campaign and carried out by E3G, with input from SGG CCS.
