Eco-innovation in Luxembourg Luxembourg hosts a thriving eco-innovation sector. There are numerous eco-companies in the country, working mainly in the field of eco-construction, renewable energy, waste management, water and electromobility, supported by numerous public agencies and research organisations. The goal of eco-innovation is to reduce the environmental impact of processes, products and services. Whether it is by finding a more energy-efficient process, a way to address environmental problems or a replacement for an excessively polluting production method, the scope is very wide. Luxembourg’s research activities in environmental technologies focus on environmental management, life-cycle assessment, clean technologies and process engineering, environmental modelling as well as the sustainable management of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The take-up of green technologies is empowered by an ambitious Government action plan, which has recently been adopted in order to stimulate the production of eco-technology products, the management of natural resources and changes in the design and development of production and consumption systems, in order to make them cleaner and more resource efficient (ecoconstruction, eco-design, environmental regulations of processes, recycling materials, etc.). Another priority is to support research and development in the environmental technologies field, thereby leading to greater sustainability and economic diversification.
The Luxembourg EcoInnovation Cluster The Luxembourg EcoInnovation Cluster is an network that supports the various actors of the eco-innovation sector in Luxembourg with the goal of creating and developing new and sustainable business opportunities through collaborative R&D and innovation projects.
