INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
The role of the Project Investment Committee (IC) is to support the evaluation of SME grant applications
to ensure that there is impartial, effective and impactful allocation of funds. The committee acts as a
decision-making body that reviews, assesses, and makes critical recommendation for the approval of
applications based on the GREENTech4CE operations manual.

ROLE OF INDEPENDENT ADVISORS
The main purpose of the Independent Investment Advisors is to provide technical leadership support
on the Investment Committee in scrutinising, reviewing and qualifying shortlisted applications
submitted by the project team and recommend selected investments for approval and funding to the
Project Technical Committee.

LEVEL OF EFFORT AND REMUNERATION
The Independent Investment Advisors will be appointed for a 2-year period and members will be
required to meet for approximately 10 days per call and will be remunerated EUR350 per day. Travel
and accommodation expenses will be covered by the project. Please note that selection to the pool
does not mean that all advisors will work on all calls as each call will need only one advisor. The Project
Team will nevertheless endeavour to balance allocation of work packages.
