Our Mission Statement
We aim to implement government policies on innovation, environment and sustainability in inspiring, forward-looking and professional ways and to promote their coherence. We get cost-effective quantifiable results, applying the best possible mix of policy instruments based on experience and synergy.


Our Vision
To strive for more prosperity and welfare for current and future generations requires economic growth and a competitive, innovation-based economy. Growth should be sustainable, though, to enable future generations to grow up in a healthy environment without overuse of limited resources. The interplay between sustainability and innovation is able to mitigate the negative effects of economic growth.
