The BASE Foundation has launched the call for pilot projects on Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems targeting eight countries.
This expansion aligns with Italy’s “Piano Mattei” and the “Rome Process”, which aim to deepen partnerships between Italy and Africa, focusing on sustainable development and energy transition.
Funding Information

Geographic Focus
