6. ENERGY EFFICIENCY CENTRE GEORGIA 6 ener2i Within ENER2i project has been conducted and disseminated a country report where is made a comparative analysis focused on the energy innovation system. The analysis is consisted of two parts: On the one hand, an analysis of the local energy sectors of Georgia and their potentials in energy efficiency and RES. The country report also provides an overview of available technologies and technology providers, opportunities and barriers and address relevant policies and energy strategies as well as a mapping of the relevant stakeholders. On the other hand, it examines the strengths and weaknesses of the innovation system and funding possibilities with regards to industrial energy efficiency and RES applications and information about relevant innovation support measures at national and domestic level.

7. ENERGY EFFICIENCY CENTRE GEORGIA 7 In (1) June 2015 in Georgia was to organized a Brokerage & Workshop Events event bringing together well-targeted ideas and clearly defined project ideas from the research and business sectors from EU & ENP countries for facilitating knowledge transfer and cooperating joint possible projects. The events was also an important opportunity for local public authorities to engage and learn stakeholders’ needs. The events was aimed at research institutions in EE/RES offering expertise and technologies from the ENP and EU countries, startups and entrepreneurs in EE/RES with project and business ideas, and manufacturers and other companies looking for innovative solutions and new cooperation partners. In addition, during the event was awarded six (6) Innovation Vouchers/ Projects with 4000 Euro that was funded within ENER2i project. Within ENER2i project has been organized EU Brokerage Events (Brussels) as well facilitating contacts and cooperation between ENP area and EU in a field of EE and RES in business. Selection of Georgian participants has been conducting through identification of experts acting in RES/EE filed in the Georgian universities (Tbilisi State University, Georgian Technical University; Ilia State University,) as well as scientific research institutions, private companies and state institutions (GITA). Final decision is made by ENERi project partner from EU countries. From Georgia were participating researchers, entrepreneurs from Technical University, Ilia State University, and State Organization (GITA) working on Biofuel, Wind Energy, Energy Efficiency, Innovation and Technology Development

8. ENERGY EFFICIENCY CENTRE GEORGIA 8 ener2i In (2) June 2015 an one-day innovation training workshop was organized on various aspects of innovation related to EE/RES. This workshop linked to the local brokerages under Local Networking and Brokerage Event. During event EU partners contributed their unique competencies (innovation concepts, clustering, funding of EE/RES innovations, etc.) to the training sessions. The event was organized in cooperation with Georgian Technical University. Twinning is to support the development of the EE/RES sector in Georgia and to build linkages between actors in the ENP and EU countries. Twinning introduces good practice in the countries of the Eastern partnership, and will strengthen the capacities and technological know-how of selected stakeholders in the ENP countries, and enhance mutual learning. There was organized and conducted study visit to Twente University/Netherlands and Summer School in Transylvania University /Rumania. from Georgia were participating searchers from Technical University, Ilia State University working Biomass/Briquette, Biofuel, Wind Energy, Co-evluationary Decisions in Energy fields.
