As a global green trend, eco-innovation addresses products, services, processes and management methods that can benefit the environment and human well-being. However, it is not just the environment that stands to gain from eco-innovation. The world market for environmental products, services and technologies is growing every year given the emergence of an array of environmental rules and regulations imposed by governments and international organizations. In other words, there are new business opportunities especially for small and medium enterprises if they incorporate eco-innovation into their business strategies. Serving as an international platform, the ASEIC mobilizes green technologies and expertise for helping SMEs in ASEM member countries to move towards a green economy. Over the past two years, the institution has provided eco-innovation consulting services to 65 independent SMEs in Asian countries in an effort to strengthen the green competitiveness of SMEs by disseminating and utilizing green management and technology. This year, the ASEIC expands this project, which is active from May to November 2013, into 5 ASEM member states, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines, providing consulting services for total 40 SMEs.
