idea to make a larger sample collection, preferably in English which can
be used for international marketing.
It is recommended that each country makes available online descriptions
of examples of promising technologies. It may also refer to the geographic
location of a demonstration plant.
It is furthermore important to have good websites with description of
what is happening in the country on the topic. One such website can also
be developed with reports, references, tables, etc., and may almost be
said to be indispensable. Experience from this project is that all countries
should make better websites on eco-efficient technology or environmental
technology. It is recommended that each country uses more
resources to create better websites in that way.
Venture capital
Companies in development often have a need to attract active investment
capital. In each of the Nordic countries there are public owned
funds with venture capital, which invest in promising companies or
technologies. Private venture capital also has an interest in such direct
investments.
The project has not studied the market for venture capital in the individual
Nordic countries. There are comments on the subject in many
publications, and venture capital funds, especially public, also frequently
publishes, what they have invested in. The reason for this lack of study
in this project is that one can argue that venture capital is a special area
which should have its own focus or may have its own focus.
It is recommended though that countries ensure that there is sufficient
venture capital, when companies or businesses are looking for
external capital supply.
Demand side
All Nordic countries are well aware that government policies have a
great impact on the demand of eco-efficient technology or environmental
technology. This is evident in reports, not least the new strategies, for
example in Norway and Sweden. The state has by regulation a very good
opportunity to influence the market. This is acknowledged. There is a big
leap from this realisation to a more active working with market demandoriented
instruments. The Nordic countries are in this project asked
about measures to influence the demand side, both generally and in
more specific cases. All responses are very general and not very concrete.
It is obvious that the countries do not often work very concrete
with the impact of demand in promoting eco-efficient technology.
Denmark has produced a publication about the environmental consequences
of increased green public procurement. This report shows
that only relatively small environmental performance can be achieved
by using an increased share of government purchases by green procurement.
The reason is probably that in green public procurement you
