Environmental Innovations Advisory Group (EIAG)

Making the UK the best place in the world to bring environmental innovations to market

The business-led Environmental Innovations Advisory Group (EIAG) is tasked with identifying practical measures to tackle barriers to innovation in the environmental industries sector, and to mobilise key stakeholders to bring about change.

It was established jointly by BERR and Defra in April 2003 to build on and take forward the work of the Environmental Innovations and Growth Team (IGT), which had looked at the strategic challenges and opportunities facing the environmental industries sector.

EIAG has come to the end of its initial three-year term and has published its First Report.  The Report sets out EIAG's overall approach and details progress made on specific workstreams.

Following a review at the end of 2005, Ministers have agreed that EIAG should continue for a further two years to build on the good progress it has achieved.  EIAG will be reviewed again in March 2008.
