Scientific literature investigating the process of adoption of green innovations (GIs) by technology-based SMEs is still incomplete and fragmented despite their importance for a country's economic development. In this paper, the authors analyse a sample of these SMEs to investigate how they relate to GIs. The findings show that these SMEs follow different approaches toward GIs, their decision being greatly affected by their capacity to establish networks with external partners, as well as by the presence of a suitable business climate. The statistical analysis conducted highlights the patterns followed and provides a geographic representation of the propensity for eco-innovation and networking.

尽管绿色创新对一个国家的经济发展很重要，但调查科技型中小企业采用绿色创新（GI）过程的科学文献仍然不完整且支离破碎。在本文中，作者分析了这些中小企业的样本，以调查它们与地理标志的关系。研究结果表明，这些中小企业对地理标志采取不同的做法，他们的决定很大程度上受到其与外部合作伙伴建立网络的能力以及是否存在合适的商业环境的影响。进行的统计分析突出了所遵循的模式，并提供了生态创新和网络倾向的地理代表性。
