In order to meet Taiwan 2050 Net Zero Goal, PIDC is implementing SMEA's project to accelerate SMEs' green transition, which aims to support SMEs to fit global net zero trend, reduce the risk of supply chain pressure, and create business opportunities.

To understand the green strategies for SMEs in other countries, PIDC held the international visit in May, and went to the USA with SMEA to visit the organizations which focus on SMEs green transition.We have met Maryland Energy Innovation Accelerator, San Francisco Environment Department, California Green Business Network, and Business Council on Climate Change.

Through this visiting, we have learned the strategy for the operation of each organization, and the vision to support small and medium enterprises.

The main topics that we were focusing on include green innovation accelerator, SMEs green transition strategy, SMEs green label, and the tools for sustainable supply chain.

We collected the information and the experience from above 4 organizations, and concluded some innovated solutions for SMEA's reference.

We learned the oversea experience on SMEs green transition, as well as building up a counseling project. When SMEs first know the concept of sustainability and green transition, most of them considered it as extra cost of the business. Thus as a counseling organization, we need to understand that besides from expertise, it is also important to rise the incentive for SMEs, and to let them see the result and benefit continuously. Only when the companies work on sustainability spontaneously, this project can attract industries to join, and create a green circulate.

Regarding to the green label, though it has difficulties for us to duplicate their experience, the process of getting green label is already a model of green business counsel.

As for the accelerator, we understand the operation of innovated accelerator through the communication with MEIA. Though the MEIA model is different from our green accelerator, the sources for the startups and the strategies for business development are great reference for us.

In future vision, we will stay in touch with our global partners, not only for PIDC connecting to the world, but also supporting our customers to explore more business opportunities.
