Conclusion The application of environmentally and eco-innovative technologies brought about the required positive effects of reducing industrial pollution and increasing environmental protection at the European level. Environmentally friendly technologies can not only be applied in Europe, but can also serve as an export that fulfils two functions – these technologies represent an opportunity for better production and further innovation while helping to reduce environmental burdens where they are utilized. The transfer of know-how in the area of environmental technologies and eco-innovation, especially to Third World countries, is also viewed by the European Commission as an important environmental protection tool that requires increased attention these days. The publication is an initial look into the issue of environmental technologies and eco-innovation in the Czech Republic. Concrete examples of successful development, production and the application of different technologies in practice prove that the Czech Republic is a country with a high potential of using advanced technologies in a number of industries and agricultural branches and that there is a high potential for their further application. Neither the definitions of sectors, nor the list of individual technologies are either final or closed. On the contrary, eco-innovation and environmental technologies can be applied in a wide range of situations in the Czech Republic. This is also proved by the 8 th edition of the European Innovation Scoreboard that was introduced in Brussels on 22 January 2009. The document compares the levels of innovative systems between EU member state policies and other selected countries. The Czech Republic ranked 15 th out of the EU27 and is among “moderate innovators”. The Czech Republic’s innovation efficiency is below the EU27 average, but the annual growth of the innovation index, used to measure innovation efficiency, is above the EU27 average. 106 | 107
