Born in September 2022 after the Covid-19 crisis, the SUSTAIN Eurocluster project aims to boost the building construction market by providing the sector with the most recent and updated tools and systems in this field. The project will focus on the introduction of innovative digital tools to SMES that enable them to assess the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) of buildings using different technologies, such as the Building Information Modeling (BIM).

This document provides a summary of the actions and milestones achieved so far, as well as the results and impacts generated. To highlight, there is:

• The identification of the existing tools and solutions in the field of energy efficient buildings and the business process innovations tied to the adoption of technologies of SMEs for their green and digital transition (WP2).
  
  
  
  
• The implementation of online seminars to support SMEs for the adoption of the Smart Readiness Indicator and to understand the benefits that arise out of it (WP3).
  
  
  
• Development of value chains interlinkages in the EU Single Market for improving resilience, accompanied with the launch of the Digital Collaboration Platform (WP4).


• Preparations for the Open Calls for SME's awarded proposals, including a first draft of the Applicants guidelines, as well as the definition of the Open Calls' topics (WP5).


• The implementation of the communication and dissemination plan of the project (WP7).

This deliverable summarizes some of the most disruptive tools developed in several European projects, and offers a cross-section of the European entrepreneurial reality and innovative dynamism in the construction field. Also, the document presents a proposal for an analysis questionnaire prepared to probe the innovation response of the entrepreneurial ecosystems of the various members of the consortium.
