The regional mapping analysis within the GREENE 4.0 project aims to comprehensively understand the current state and potential for innovation in the sustainable business sector across Central European (CE) regions. The analysis focuses specifically on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry.
In total, the mapping analysis surveyed 422 manufacturing SMEs across the CE regions to gain representative sample coverage across company sizes, sub-sectors, and geographic areas. The analysis aimed to understand: Current adoption rates of green/digital technologies; perceived barriers, risks and uncertainties; future plans and innovation interests; required resources and supports.
