Challenges
During the last years social challenges such as pollution, dwindling
natural resources and climate change are being more intensively taken into
consideration by federal and local governments, public and private
industry, citizens and in a wider sense by the European Union.
This is also certified by the fact that currently investments by the
European Union in cleaner technologies is increasing aggressively to meet
carbon-reduction targets, boost energy security, and improve the economic
sustainability and health of its communities. Private capital investors
seek to invest in companies with innovations that exploit the commercial
potential of green technology. Private industry and public organizations
are investing in research and development and producing new technologies
that address the demands set by legislative policies and consumers.
Researchers and technologists are developing new solutions that improve the
efficiency and efficacy of existing environmental technologies and
infrastructures. Consumers are demanding that the products they buy and
services they use are environmentally sound. These green technology
stakeholders are engaged in parallel, and not often, in collaboration on
ways to best address the demands and challenges of this fast-changing green
technology challenge and market.
Therefore, green technologies are continuously gaining industry, research,
government and non-governmental attention. So, obviously, now is the
appropriate time for taking the essential steps that will show that the
involved parties are highly active in the area, along with the ICT solution
they have developed.
