The European Innovation Ecosystem and the role of green start-ups in the European Green Deal: clusters and perspectives.

Those points are analysed by screening the presence of successful green startups in the Union and assessing which factors enable their growth, with a focus on their relationship with innovation funding provided by European Institutions within the political framework of the European Green Deal. Through a combined quantitative and qualitative approach, This study examines the elements that facilitate green innovation in specific European contexts, with the objective of developing a suite of legal and financial support tools to promote green innovation across Europe.
