About the Green Technology Selector

Products, vendors and manufacturers registered in the Green Technology Selector are promoted worldwide as best-in-class green technologies and clients are encouraged to choose them among others. It helps vendors sell more high-end products to local clients.

Technology vendors are encouraged to register for free their technologies with this tool to make the best ones more visible to prospective local clients. Performance requirements for technologies and vendors are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted to reflect market developments.

By selecting to browse products in a country, the Green Technology Selector will list the technologies that meet the minimum performance criteria for that country.

Products listed in the country-specific Green Technology Selector meet technical performance criteria (“pre-approved”) and are considered pre-approved for green financing via local financial institutions.

The Green Technology Selector was developed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and supported by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance.
