In the framework of the Slovak Presidency of the Council of the EU, the Slovak Ministry of the Environment is organising an international conference ‘T2gE – Transition to the Green Economy’. The flagship event takes place on 6 and 7 September at the Hotel Saffron in Bratislava.

The focus of the discussions will be on actions of key stakeholders, including financial and investments actors, supporting transition to the green economy. One of the main discussion sessions will be aimed at the role of research and innovation in accelerating such a transition, the issues of a demand to the community of researchers and innovators, the obstacles that researchers and innovators meet when developing and deploying innovative solutions, including their implementation in a real life.
