New website of Enterprise Europe Network's Environment Sector Group

The Enterprise Europe Network brings together business support organisations from across 45 countries. They are connected through powerful databases and know Europe inside out. Local Network branches are very well connected in Europe, and even beyond. Enterprise Europe Network experts can help you find international business partners, source new technologies and receive EU funding or finance. They can advise you on issues so diverse as intellectual property, going international, or EU law and standards.

Enterprise Europe Network sector group environment covers all environmental topics, with a particular focus on eco-innovation. It uses its members' expertise to support European organisations in their scientific, technological and commercial development. European information and news are published by the sector group via publications, data bases and websites. Additionally, it organizes brokerage events, business trips to EU regions, symposia, workshops and conferences on a regular basis.

Besides information on the group's activities, Sector Group Environment's new website provides the "environment technology marketplace". This virtual market place consists of a database where companies can have a technology offer or a technology request posted if they have a specific technology to offer or look for an adequate technology. Both services are free of charge.
