SolarPower Europe (SPE) has announced the launch of the International Solar Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI) to boost global demand for European solar products and enhance industry competitiveness.

SolarPower Europe (SPE) has announced the launch of the International Solar Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI) to boost global demand for European solar products and enhance industry competitiveness. The initiative is backed by eight European manufacturers spanning various sectors, including equipment, components, mounting systems, inverters, and system connection solutions.
Companies that have already participated in ISMI include Ecoprogetti, HoloSolis, K2Systems, Mondragon Assembly, SMA Solar, Stäubli, Unex, and Weidmüller from six countries, including Italy, Spain, Estonia, France, Germany, and Switzerland. Máté Heisz, SPE’s Director of Global Affairs, stated: “The EU’s Net-Zero Industry Act and the European Competitiveness Agenda are driving demand for resilient solar products in domestic markets. ISMI aims to stimulate demand for European products and technologies in international markets while helping European partners achieve their economic and sustainability goals.”
ISMI will focus on four key areas: supporting European solar manufacturers in seizing opportunities in the global clean tech market; promoting the export of “Made in Europe” solar products within the EU’s development cooperation policy framework; aligning with the EU’s Global Gateway Strategy and facilitating public financing support from European development finance institutions (DFIs) and export credit agencies (ECAs); and strengthening the resilience of the global solar supply chain.
