IOSS is an entity whose scope is to orient, support, manage incentives, aggregate, and promote innovation for business, by capitalizing and exporting the results and experience gained from the work developed in the three countries involved in the project. The idea of IOSS emerged due to lack of such centers aiming at providing start-ups and SMEs with the knowledge, technical assistance, consultancy, and networking opportunities required to run a successful innovative renewable energy business in Egypt.
