Among the identified sources of finance by both Spain and Mexico, as co-leaders in the Renewable Energies Working Group expressed specific funding options: Ministry of Energy of Mexico - availability of funds from the Sustainable Energy Fund (Fondo de Sustentabilidad Energética) which could serve for pilot activities to be developed under the JIRI with the participation of Mexican groups. The FSE (for its acronym in Spanish), is an instrument created by the Government of Mexico to promote scientific research and applied technology, as well as the adoption, innovation, assimilation and technological development in four lines: energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, use of clean technologies and diversification of primary energy sources. The Ministry of Energy in Mexico reached an agreement with IADB ideas+the Mexican Sustainability Fund in Energy wherefrom a call for international cooperation projects on energy efficiency and renewable energies use for Mexican, Latin American and European institutions was launched. This call will be open again this year for innovative proposal aimed at increasing energy efficiency and access to renewable energies. The call is open to regional consortia coordinated by a Mexican legal entity for up to $400,000/project. IBEROEKA Innovation Projects as a tool designed to promote cooperation in technological research and development between industrial sector companies and which could be the seeds for future joint coordinated activities. Instruments Joint calls for research, involving EU and different key LAC countries. Sustainable Energy Fund- Mexico de Sustentabilidad Energética). National funding options up to what each country will be willing to collaborate with, in addition to other opportunities that may arise either from 7FP, the European Commission, BID, or/and other alternatives. Other entities funding or working on renewable energies like GEEREF Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund, IRENA, AIE, etc, which activities will be taken into consideration for possible synergies funding alternatives: InterAmerican Development Bank (IADB) Latin American Investment Facility (LAIF) According to construction. 6.
