This project is funded under the EIBURS grant by the European Investment Bank, developed in collaboration with the European Investment Fund. The project aims to: i) analyse the actions that are undertaken by European cleantech firms to engage in transformative climate and innovation actions to align with the European Green Deal-inspired policies; ii) examine the association of the environmental innovation and the number of new investments made by venture capital (VC) investors in cleantech companies on environmental indicators; iii) analyse the enabling factors for the development of European cleantech firms, with a focus on EU-level and country-level targeted policies and regulations and the different sources of financing; iv) analyse the extent to which the implementation of policies and regulations affect both the propensity of cleantech firms to seek external equity financing and the equity offer by VC funds.
