GREENTECH is a research program that unites top scientific and industrial expertise to support Slovenian companies in making a green transition at both the production process and product levels. It facilitates the integration of breakthrough R&D solutions across the entire value chain, from research and manufacturing to energy-efficient products using EU materials.

Initially focused on Slovenia, GREENTECH aims to expand its impact to the EU and globally. Over ten years, its full implementation is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by over 17 million tonnes, lower energy consumption by nearly 9 billion kWh, and cut material use by around 800,000 tonnes through improved efficiency and greener products.

The consortium includes companies: Gorenje, d.o.o., Fotona, d.o.o., Domel, d.o.o., LPKF, d.o.o., Yaskawa Slovenija d.o.o., Danfoss Trata, d.o.o., Kronoterm, d.o.o. and Medius, d.o.o., as well as the research organisations: Faculty of Social Sciences (UL) and the Faculty of Management (UP). The lead partner is the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana.
