Abstract | |||||||||||||||||
The goal of the paper is to elaborate an empirical overview of green technological
development in European regions. This is a timely pursuit considering the ambitious
commitments stipulated in the recent European Green Deal to achieve climate neutrality by
2050. Our analysis is organised in three steps. First, we map the geographical distribution of
innovative activities in Europe and profile regions in terms of technological capabilities.
Second, we elaborate a metric to identify regions’ green innovation potential. Third, we
check whether possessing comparative advantage in specific technological domains is
associated with a region’s capacity to develop green technologies.
