Environmental technologies – the green future

The field of environmental technology development includes a very wide range of activities. In the study, which is conducted jointly by the Samuel Neaman Institute, Globes Research and Kesselman & Kesselman, we show that there are very large opportunities in the new market and that the government must take a series of actions realize these opportunities. The government is required to recognize the field and draft a national master plan, allocate designated budgets for research and development in the field, and promote the establishment of demonstration, marketing and export facilities for Israeli technologies. The government can and should also promote the issue through administrative means. The government signal will also promote private initiatives, which will bring both developments and funding to the field.
