ETV: accelerator of SME market penetration
|
|
To ensure sustainable growth, the European economy has to move from a linear towards a circular economic model where resources are used in a more sustainable way. Eco-innovations will play a vital role in meeting future resource demands whilst minimising the environmental impacts of economic activity. Accelerating the acceptance and uptake of eco-innovations is important both for environmental objectives and for the EU agenda on jobs and growth.
