From electric scooters in Italy to energy-efficient street lighting in Croatia, from waste-minimising mushroom production in Romania to high biodiversity pastureland in Portugal: this brochure presents 15 examples from Europe that have managed to increase income and employment by operating more sustainably.

Together with Ecofys, Ecologic Institute produced a brochure, which highlights examples of green growth that stem from a range of sectors (energy, buildings, transport, agriculture and industry) and are located throughout Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. The brochure presents cutting-edge technologies, forward-thinking entrepreneurs, smart combinations of financing options, and innovative project designs from across Europe.

Some of these projects have been developed in times of economic crisis or in the context of less supportive policy frameworks. The selected projects shall serve as examples to be replicated in other municipalities, countries or businesses and support market actors in facilitating and running green projects.
