NENA - The network

NENA is a network of innovation and sustainability oriented enterprises and umbrella organisations accross the Alps. It was developed within the framework of the Interreg IIIB project and will be further financed by the members, a contribution from CIPRA International and possibly Interreg projects.
NENA concentrates on the value added chain of wood, on renewable energies, on energy efficiency and on ecological building. However, in future, the fields may be enlarged.
The aims of the network are to help alpine enterprises to stay innovative and competitive, whilst increasing their contribution to sustainable development. NENA also allows enterprises and their umbrella organisations to exchange experiences, share know-how, and carry out long term cooperation on specific topics within the Alps. More

European Enterprise Awards 2008

Presently in these days the Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour of Austria with a independent jury has nominated the project NENA as one of the two projects which represents Austria at the European competition "European Enterprise Awards 2008"!
The Lead-Partner Regional Development Agency Vorarlberg is invited to take part.

Checking the feasibility and setting the baseline for a network aimed at serving an innovative and sustainability-oriented entrepreneurship in the Alps was one ofthe major aims of the NENA Interreg IIIB project. This has been achieved. While working together within the Interreg project, the partners realised how rich and promising long-term alpine-wide collaboration can be; sharing knowledge and experiences has enriched each individual partner’s projects and allowed new ideas for common projects to emerge.
