Overall Theme of Pilot Pilot Action
3
II. Improvement of the effectiveness of
eco-management practitioner networks
24th October 2013
General target of pilot pilot action
• Improve the cooperation of ALL institutions supporting eco-management and eco-innovation in Lower Austria
• Identify synergies between the different funding schemes
• Improve the transparency and service for the clients– SMEs– Communities
424th October 2013
Planning of pilot action
1. Definition of eco-management practitioner network– All institutions supporting eco-management and eco-innovation
in Lower Austria– All eco-consultants/experts
2. Definition of common denominator– All supporting institutions come back to a similar or even
identical group of consultants– But nevertheless the selection of an appropriate consultant for
a specific project tends to be a problem
524th October 2013
Specific target of pilot action
• Each funding scheme in Lower Austria manages its own pool of experts.– partly overlapping
– similar selection criteria
– not transparent
• Those pools will be merged to one single group of experts:– To increase transparency– To easy the selection of an expert
– To enable a better networking between the experts
– To increase the quality of the experts– To ease the development of joined selection criteria

Difficulties to implement
My ECO-Expert• Each funding scheme in Lower Austria manages its own
pool of experts and wants to keep control
• There is an ongoing restructuring process in order to merge parts of Ökomanagement with Chamber of Commerce
• Lack of cooperation willingness between some players
• Already existing search tools but with specific needs for one institution

Draft search criteria for eco-experts
The search criteria will be always enlargeable and adjustable, nevertheless the first version will define the priorities for the future search tool
2 1st Dec. 2013 Feedback round with a number of eco-experts if they agree with the search criteria
The criteria need to be accepted by the eco-experts. Only in that way, it can be a success in the future.
3 15th Dec. 2013
Final definition of search criteria for eco-experts with stakeholders
The responsible stakeholders need to agree in the final version of the search criteria and will give the expert the OK for programming the database.
4 15th Feb. 2014

RECOMMENDPilot Action – South BohemiaJan JarešEkoport24th October 2013
24th October 2013
PA – innovation vouchers in South Bohemia• PA is focused on initiation of first eco-innovation tool in the
region – “innovation vouchers”• target groups: R&D capacities, entrepreneurs• it will help to establish the tool in order to be adjusted and
developed further (“eco”)• it is based on its simplicity and transferibility using best
practices even from the Czech Republic• pretty good chances for success – SB is one of the last
regions in the CZ with no innovation vouchers
1424th October 2013
Current status of PA• in August 2013 – regional board has informally approved
intention and assign concrete division to cooperate with Ekoport on development of the scheme
• Ekoport has contracted JAiP (important stakeholder) to execute specific activities in development of the scheme
• Preparation of awareness campaign on innovation vouchers
• Goal is to pass the proposal for the scheme through council by 2013 in order to allocate financial resources for the 1st call in 2014
