Abstract

The general framework for improving human-environment relationship is established through the concept of sustainable development. Achieving this needs major changes that should reach every aspect of the social and economic life. Such task is overwhelming even for the most advanced states that also recognize the effectiveness of entrepreneurship approaches for other issues of public concern. Involving businesses in delivering sustainable development is necessary and possible and clean technology based businesses could be an important engine in this respect. The characteristics of these are sought for by considering previous results, but also a sample of successful companies. It was found that such businesses are capital intensive, fast evolving, concentrated in North America and in clean tech segments such as energy efficiency, solar energy, transportation, agriculture and food, and biofuels and biochemical.
