Validate your green technologies thanks to the EU ETV Programme

The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) is a service provided by the European Commission with the aim to help technology providers proposing innovative, green technologies verify their solutions and provide a quality stamp. The ETV process takes the technology through a third-party validation, which assesses the performance of the technology based on independent and credible information using the internationally standards.

Launched under the EU Commission Eco-Innovation Action Plan, the programme contributes to the Circular Economy by promoting the uptake of green technologies.

Relevant for startups and companies, buyers, investors
The ETV programme is relevant for entrepreneurs and companies developing environmentally friendly technologies, buyers, and investors alike. The third-party environmental verification can help boost the credibility of a product, help gain market access, as well as act as a quality stamp to reassure potential investors.

Join the EU ETV movement by registering your green technology or buying and investing in our previously verified technologies! Get started today by contacting a verification body or consulting the list of verified technologies.
