  1. Cleantech Incubation Europe: Policy and Practice Event Insights from the INTERREG IVC Thematic Capitalisation exercise on Eco-Innovation Laura Roman, Technopolis Group 19 June 2014 / Delft

  2. What is eco-innovation?

  3. What is eco-innovation? Eco-innovation isany innovation that reduces the use of natural resources and decreases the release of harmful substancesacross its whole life-cycle. impact on environment (resources and emissions) impact on economy (turnover, profit, sales, exports, jobs) impact on society (jobs, quality of life)

  10. INTERREG IVC Thematic Capitalization Eco-Innovation Projects

  11. Challenges addressed by INTERREG IVC projects • Common challenges: • Environmental • Economic • Disparities among EU regions • More specific challenges: • Capabilities in regional planning for eco-innovation • Fostering eco-innovation among small and large companies • Promoting innovation and dissemination of eco-innovations • Strengthening and greening value chains

  12. Results of the exchanges of experiences • By mid 2014: • A total of 136 good practices identified by the projects • Four good practices have already been transferred • 30 good practices are in a process of preparation for transfer to a different region • Some of them are being incorporated in the regional development plans.

  13. Approaches to eco-innovation identified in the projects

  14. Types of good practices identified

  15. Recommendations to regions promoting Eco-Innovation

  16. Recommendations for clusters and incubators • Foster triple helix cooperation, and capitalise on the incubator’s physical proximity to R&D facilities incorporating opportunities for concrete projects between the members of the incubators, the private sector, universities or public sector. • Clusters should work together with incubators and support the entrepreneurial environment in the region. • Design cleantech incubator facilities to cater to different phases of the innovation process. Good practices include a range of types of incubators and demonstrators. Some are offering a fast-track space for testing and adopting the lean start-up concept in the case of early-stage business ideas. Other demonstrators offer the opportunity of testing their prototypes in real life settings for start-ups that are more advanced in the innovation chain.
