EcoInnovation 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.

Eco-innovation involves finding ways of reducing 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.

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 action plan, which Luxembourg has recently adopted in order to stimulate the production of eco-technology products  and to support research and development  in the environmental technologies field, thereby leading to greater sustainability and economic diversification.
