Policies to Support Green Entrepreneurship
Building a Hub for Green Entrepreneurship in Denmark
Combatting climate change is among the most critical issues on the global policy agenda.
The transition towards a greener economy will require a pivot towards more sustainable
production processes and consumption patterns. Entrepreneurs have the potential to
be a major driving force behind this effort through their capacity to develop and
propagate innovative green solutions. To unlock this potential, it is crucial for
policy makers to implement appropriate policies and measures that enable green entrepreneurs
to thrive. This report identifies lessons from international policy practices in stimulating
and supporting green entrepreneurship from three case study countries – Canada, Germany
and Israel – to inform Denmark about effective policy practices and pitfalls to avoid
as it implements initiatives to strengthen its green transition. Recommendations are
offered across a number of areas such as promoting greater co-ordination between relevant
policy actors, strengthening specialised support for green entrepreneurs and building
green markets.
