The Eco-innovation initiative is not about research: all ideas must be developed, practical and offer long-term viability to qualify for funding. Nor are projects simply about protecting the environment. What the initiative does is lend a helping hand to innovative and environmentally friendly products, services and processes – moving them along the road to fully fledged commercial prospects, ready for uptake by business and industry.

However, these are tough times for small firms. Cash flow problems and red tape, along with the global economic downturn, mean companies need a helping hand to weather the storm.
So, in order to promote innovation and job creation, the European Union is pulling out all the stops to support SMEs.

Yet, many well-established companies only exist because their founders did not give up after failing at the first hurdle!
