In its statement, the network also detailed the objectives of the event, which were to “identify the key challenges and opportunities for green entrepreneurs and social eco-innovation initiatives.” SwitchMed also intended to “propose concrete measures and instruments to public actor to establish a regulatory and policy framework, and stimulate the market for sustainable products and services.” Other objectives included proposing “concrete measures and instruments for impact investors to boost investment in green entrepreneurship projects”.
