13 Advisory Services Track 1 Eco-Innovation Management Consulting Service ASEIC Eco-innovation Consulting service is provided under integrated concept of Eco-innovation developed by EU, OECD and other leading actors and nations, mostly focusing on Product, Techniques, Services, and Process in the context of sustainable development Our goal is to help SMEs: - evolve towards sustainable manufacturing of their goods and services - raise awareness of eco-innovation and encourage them to innovate - identify enablers and barriers to eco-innovation

14 Advisory Services Track 1 Eco-Innovation Management Consulting Service Profile of Pilot Project for 2011 (in progress) - 33 SMEs - Target countries: Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam - Cross-cutting project (in principle, sector is widely opened) - Participating Organizations: UNIDO, Eco-Frontier(K), Eco- Eye(K), OWW Consulting(M), Universitas Islam Negeri(I), The Federation of Thai Industries(T), Vietnam Cleaner Production Centre(V) - Budget: 500,000 USD/year

15 Advisory Services Track 2 Eco-Innovative and Appropriate Tech. Project - What s appropriate? - Energy shortage, environmental degradation - Relevant to local people s needs

16 Theoretical Recommendation - Need of a comprehensive strategy for widespread adaption of technology - Shift from supply-push to demand-pull approaches - Improving local capacity for commercializing renewable technologies - No universal institution to deliver renewable technologies Derived from ODA Analysis from 1980 s-1990 s Case of renewable energy Source: Keith Kozloff, 1995

17 Technology Transfer - Embodied technology transfer comes through the implementation of equipment into a country. In such cases, the technology is embodied in the imported equipment - Disembodied technology transfer involves the flow of knowhow or experience. Examples include demonstration projects, training local staff, and local firms hiring away staff from multinational firms operating in a developing countries. - Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. -> changing fishing environment Source: Policies for the development and transfer of eco-innovations: lessons from the literature OECD Global Forum on Environment on Eco-Innovation (4-5 November 2009)
