The goal of the REPIC platform (Renewable Energy, Energy & Resource Efficiency, Promotion in International Cooperation) is to strengthen and coordinate Swiss federal activities (by SECO, SDC, FOEN, SFOE) on renewable energies, energy and resource efficiency within developing and transitioning countries.


Projects must facilitate the transfer of Swiss technology and know-how to meet local needs. The project must be in the field of renewable energies and/or energy efficiency and/or resource efficiency (waste, waste water and industrial processes).


REPIC’s financial contributions are primarily intended as complementary measures for the:

  • quality assurance of proposals,
  • reduction of project transaction costs in the international context
  • as seed funding for larger projects.
REPIC can support projects in the following categories:

  • Infrastructure Projects
  • Measures in favor of training and quality assurance
  • Establishment of market structures
  • Funding models
  • Events and activities related to information
Who can apply:

Funding: max. 150’000.
