The chapter introduces a new technology life cycle indicator that measures the stage of maturity of green technologies. The life cycle heuristic is applied to investigate the geographical dimension of green inventive activities and to map them across European regions according to the maturity of the technology. To do so, we exploit the wealth of information provided by patent data to create an original indicator that captures the pace at which green inventive activities grow and diffuse across regions. By combining these two dimensions we can define the life cycle stage of each green technology.

Abstract
The chapter introduces a new technology life cycle indicator that measures the stage of maturity of green technologies. The life cycle heuristic is applied to investigate the geographical dimension of green inventive activities and to map them across European regions according to the maturity of the technology. To do so, we exploit the wealth of information provided by patent data to create an original indicator that captures the pace at which green inventive activities grow and diffuse across regions. By combining these two dimensions we can define the life cycle stage of each green technology.File in questo prodotto:
