Eco-entrepreneurship is about developing market-based solutions to development challenges. Green or ‘eco’ entrepreneurs are those deliberately seeking business opportunities to provide, or support, profitable yet resource-efficient products and services. Developing market-based solutions, revenue models, and eco-entrepreneurial activities are key to long-term sustainability.
The dossier outlines the potential of ecoentreprenuers and proceeds to describe relevant environmental and ecoentrepreneurial trends in Europe and Asia. In its main part, this dossier explores the eco-entrepreneurial potential of SWITCHAsia projects, many of which are three or more years old, showing how they are doing it and what they have learnt along the way.
