First we shall make a conceptual analysis of he eco-innovation as a superior from of technological innovation dedicated to the environmental protection. Then there are emphasized some of the main features\r\n and challenges on eco innovation in Romania. This time we also address the importance and the role of eco-innovation in sustainable economic development and the transition to a green economy. In this respect, we shall point again the positive direct correlation between eco-innovation and resource productivity revealed by recent national and international surveys as well as by own research.
