Abstract

This article presents applicable approaches for supporting the transition towards sustainable decen- tralized economic development within the European Union, based on the concept of supporting the
development and market uptake of eco-innovations. The main topic addressed is achieving a more effective market uptake of ecologically oriented innovations facilitated through matchmaking, as well
as knowledge and technology transfer between key actors of the innovation process.
