L'éco-innovation est considérée par la stratégie de Lisbonne comme un instrument clé, permettant d'accroître la compétitivité de l'économie européenne tout en améliorant la qualité de notre environnement. Que peuvent faire les régions pour soutenir l'éco-innovation? Comment peuvent-elles profiter pleinement du potentiel offert par les technologies éco-innovantes ? Qu'entend t-on réellement par le terme éco-innovation?
Le but de notre conférence est d'identifier, sur la base des meilleures pratiques régionales, les instruments clés qui permettent de soutenir avec succès l'éco-innovation en Europe. Des élus régionaux et de hauts fonctionnaires ont été invités, ainsi que des acteurs privés pertinents (plus particulièrement des banques) et des agences pour le développement. De hauts représentants des institutions européennes, notamment de la Commission, assiteront également à la conférence.

The European Clusters and Regions for Eco-innovation and Eco-investments Network (ECREINetwork), set up in 2006, is composed of Rhône-Alpes (F), Baden-Württemberg (D), Lombardia (I), Andalusien (E), Ile-de-France (F) and Malopolska (PL) and aims at promoting eco-innovation and in particular improving the financial instruments in support to eco-innovation.
To do so, this project, which is co-financed by the European Union, intends to compare the instruments which exist in various European Regions to promote eco-innovation and eco-investments in small and medium enterprises, in view to assess their impact and to make, on that basis, proposals for new business and financing measures.
