Commissariat Général au Développement Durable

The "Greentech Innovation" initiative is driven by Ecolab, the innovation laboratory for ecological transition of the General Commission for Sustainable Development (CGDD), within the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion. It acts as a catalyst for French start-ups/SMEs committed across the entire spectrum of the ecological transition (circular economy, renewable energies, sustainable transports, sustainable finance...), encouraging positive, measurable impact on the environment. Nearly 300 companies have joined the Greentech Innovation certification. This certification is obtained via an extensive analysis conducted by industry experts, at the end of which the State plays the role of a"de-risker". As they receive the certification, Greentech Innovation companies are supported in their business developpement through: (1) visibility and commercial leads, and especially towards local public authorities; (2) a welcome kit offering digital tools.
