Opportunities for developing countries
• Can countries identify their potential strengths in producing and exporting green technologies?and exporting green technologies?
– It would be nice to know which green technologies a country is best positioned to produce and export competitively?
– The product space methodology can helpgy
Product Space Maps*
• A map of all ‘products’ that a country exports (circular
nodes – ).)
• Products the country produces/exports competetively are
readily identified (square nodes – ).
• Products in close proximity are related – if one is competitively produced the other can be also.

Main point
Green Product Space Maps canGreen Product Space Maps can serve as a powerful scoping tool to assess national potential to diversify
production and export into environmental technologies and other
green products.g p
