9th ETAP forum on Eco Innovation: Financing the eco-innovators.

Monday 29th to tuesday 30th Novembre

Brussels, Plaza Hotel

Eco-friendly technologies are good for business, reduce pressure on the environment and can create new jobs. The European Commission invites all stakeholders and the public to discover and share promising opportunities to make eco-innovation an everyday reality throughout Europe. The event will bring together: the financial actors that provide funds – such as banks, investment funds and agencies running financial programmes; eco-innovators – principally SMEs and other entities looking for funding to grow in their markets; policy makers; potential customers; and business intermediaries such as consultants and facilitators that are key to match demand and supply of available funds. Interest is also expected from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and business associations.
