Ecopreneur.eu developed guidelines with and for green entrepreneurs. The overall aim of the project was to facilitate the transition towards a climate-friendly economy, to promote research and innovation and to support a sustainable economy able to mitigate and adapt to climate change. In pursuit of this objective, this guide aims to boost green entrepreneurship by highlighting the huge need of a green economy that fosters social value and avoids the irreparable losses involved in unsustainable consumption and production.

The Guidelines for green start-ups provide an overview of main barriers, key opportunities and most common as well as most recent financial instruments available for start-ups.
