Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation
To deliver efficiently high-quality European funding schemes and initiatives in these areas, the European Commission has set up the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI) to manage on its behalf four projects: Intelligent Energy - Europe (The Power to Innovate); Marco Polo (New Ways to a Green Horizon); Enterprise Europe Network (Business Support on Your Doorstep) and Eco-Innovation (When Business Meets the Environment).

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
Although the United Nations is not directly involved in funding the transition to a low-carbon economy, the global deal that will emerge from the UNFCCC talks in Copenhagen will have a direct bearing on the economic framework in which eco-innovation will be pursued on a global basis.
