Support for feasibility studies aiming at demonstration and pilot projects on international markets.
AAJP Global offers financial support to help companies plan, develop and implement commercial demonstration and pilot projects for innovative environmental and climate solution on international markets outside EU/Efta. In order to qualify, the project must concern a technology, product, service or business model with a demonstration value and up-scaling potential in the target country, but which already has been commercially proven in another country. In addition, a local partner/customer for the project must already have been identified.
Relevant projects include solutions in areas such as energy efficiency, cleantech, infrastructure, industry, water treatment, waste management and renewable energy.
AAJP Global grant/fund is to be used specifically for feasibility studies, project planning and development and other preparatory activities, in order to reach a final agreement for the implementation of the demonstration/pilot project. The support can not be used for direct investments in equipment, products, raw material, inventories, installations or operating costs.
Joint Venture
AAJP Global deals are a popular way to spread risk and rewards. Both parties to the Joint Venture share in the investment, the profits, risks and losses. A Joint Venture can be set up in an infinite variety of shares, and can contain more than two Investment entities. Looking for a compatible partner could be as easy as reaching out to friendly competitors, using your network of contacts, or finding a Joint Venture specialist to help you market your idea, and find you a partner.
Global Financial Services has many Joint Venture Opportunities in a Variety of Industries. We add to our database in multiple sectors such as:
- Projects for innovative environmental and climate solution
- Medical/Wellness Clinic Research
- Green and Renewable Energy
- Waste Recycling Industries
- Food Processing Industries

Your Projects or Joint Venture can be for just one isolated project, or involve your entire business col-lateralization.
We often find opportunities that emerge where no previous Joint Venture was even anticipated. For instance, a company may be seeking an Investor, but determines it is faster, economical, and a shared risk to partner up with that investor.
