At the last meeting of the Steering Committee for Cooperation with the Rhone-Alpes region in September 2015, SPCleantech was approved as an official partner of the Cleantech cluster in Lyon (Rhone-Alpes) in France. Similar efforts are being made by the regional authorities of the Region of Małopolska relative to other cooperating regions in Germany, Austria, Spain, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Ukraine.
